Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It is common to get headache during withdrawal from caffeine. Here is what I suggest

1. Tab diclofenac is more potent is reducing headache than aleve. It gives faster relief
2. Eat well and on time
3. Make sure you get adequate sleep
4. When you are having headache be in a dark and quiet room
5. avoid bright light

Approach your doctor for a prescription, if the headache still persists please meet a neurologist
