Just read the 170+ pages of comments of people trying to get off caffeine here; http://coffeefaq.com/site/node/11 And the research referenced here; http://caffeineevaluation.blogspot.co.uk/ Many people feel they cannot 'get going' in the morning without caffeine; in reality they are just experiencing withdrawal from not having ingested any over the previous hours.

Withdrawal is not easy (especially first 2 weeks, when anxiety actually goes up), but is possible. How about cutting all caffeine for 30 days and seeing how you feel?
