Freedom from Caffiene

I didn't think I was consuming that much caffiene. (For the record - one cup of coffee in the mornings. One glass of diet soda at lunchtime. One or two mugs of strong black tea in the afternoon and/or evening.)

Maybe the amount is irrelevant; maybe I just have problems with it. But drinking just the one cup of black tea each morning yields some surprising results. First, I'm tired by 9:30 p.m. Second, I sleep extremely well. And third, I think my headaches are milder. I still get them, but nothing severe lately. Fourth, when I do get a headach, I'm not sleeping the day away trying to get rid of it. Finally, I'm getting up earlier and earlier and have much more time for my daily activities.

I'm in my last few days of treatment and feel great. No more sore throat and no stomach upset. I don't know if I will be taking Prilosec daily or just with Axert - need to call the doctor's office and ask.
