Caffene withdrawal

I am going through my third time quitting and it seems that each one is more painful and lengthy. I was drinking 10 or more cups per day. I am sure caffeine is contributing to my high blood pressure problems.
I drank about 1/2 my usual on coffee on Thursday and then only had 1/2 cup on Friday and none on Saturday. I felt just awful, I could not get out of bed, I have severe aches and pains in my chest and in my back. These are continuing but are moderated by taking IB profin as a pain reliever.

The malaise and lack of ability to move has not been helped. I broke down and had 1/2 cup of coffee about 1/2 hour ago and I am beginning to feel a little better. I plan to try 1/2 cup a day through Thursday and then go cold turkey again and see if I can get through the weekend with out a relapse.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
Robert
