I have a caffeine addiction and every time i try to quit i get killer migraines and stomach pains so I keep drinking coffee and energy drinks, I want to quit but even going 3 hours without caffeine and I get the migraines and stomach pains, I tried cutting back, but still: pains, I tried decaf but, again, pains. and on top of this because of the caffeine I'm not getting enough sleep, I'm only getting about 3 hours of sleep.
What should I do?

Unfortunately I don't know much about this to be able to help you, but I would at least visit my doctor to see if he could give me advice or certain treatments I could take. That's definitely where I would start.
Also, the internet is a wonderful place to get information. Maybe there's a website specifically for your problem and steps you can take to break the habit?
Hopefully there will be someone who replies after me who has better advice. xp

Thank you, I will try to find some sites about it, about the doctor thing, I have whats called white coat fever and it basically a fear of doctors so i dont know how well that will go over.

The key is just cutting back and sticking with it. Addiction is a hard thing to break, and you'll be tempted to go back to your old ways.
Honestly though, how much are you drinking for it to be this bad?

I tried cutting down on coffee, energy drinks, coffee drinks(things like starbucks coffee drinks) I even stopped drinking pop, But I still got migraines and stomach pains.
I'm drinking 4 cups a day on weekends and during school I drink a thermos of coffee and its about 8 cups, but thats spread out through the school day, and when I get home I drink 2 cups of coffee

Then talk to an actual doctor. That doesn't seem like a substantial amount, but hey, I drink upwards to 4 cups a day, but never on the weekends, and I rarely if ever get headaches from it.

I would talk to a doctor but the closest hospital or clinic is an hour away and I have no mode of transportation to get their. I also drink a few energy drinks a day on top of the coffee I drink.

Then it's just discipline. Find the number of drinks, and then slowly taper off. One less drink a week.

What should I do? even if u cant quit u shud atleast try to cut down a bit. this fella from where i live recently died from drinking like 7 redbulls - anyways as long as u keep it under control u shud be kool - i too have a slight cafeine addiction lol

I KNOWWW!
Okay- The Problem Is When You Quit You're In Pain Right?
Try Having A Glass In The Morning, And Then Once You Start Getting Pains, Take Two Asprin.
>.<
I Hope It Works. Because Without Pain Means You Don't Need It- Right?
