Yup, my DH gets splitting headaches every time he goes w/o caffeine. I think the best way to do it is gradually like alexandra suggested. Maybe start by reducing your coffee intake to one cup a day for a week. Then switching to a decaf soda in the afternoon for another week. Etc. When you are down to one cup of coffee, you could start mixing decaf with non-decaf coffee. I would think if you do it gradually enough, your body shouldn't go into withdrawal.
I don't get headaches, I just become too tired to function if I don't have my tea every day. Back in college I gave up coffee and basically slept an entire summer away.
