Love the Green Tea
I was a horrible caffine addict and started a medication last year that made me break the habit. Best thing I ever did for myself, next to quitting smoking!
I do love a cup of green tea in the morning at work though. I am with Karen, that the benefits of green tea far outweight the minimal amt of caffine I ingest.
One word of warning - if you decide to wean, great. If you try cold turkey still (as I did), do NOT drink anything with caffine for at least 2 weeks, otherwise, the nasty side effects will come back with a vengence.
Also, the headaches and general cruddy-ness you are feeling now will abate rather quickly after 72 hours. Drinking TONS of water would also help flush the residual out of your system.
Good luck!
