It's pretty easy to get a headache from skipping your caffine if you're used 
to it, yes.

The point to remember is that caffine works by blocking the bits that emit 
the stuff that turns off your brain. (A very technical explanation, yes.) 
However, if you take it long enough, you wind up growing new emitters to 
account for the inefficiency of the ones you already have, so basically your 
body adjusts to it and after a few weeks you're operating at the same level 
you normally would be operating at.

You don't, after a few weeks.
