Fever is not a commonly listed symptom of caffeine withdrawal, but it is certainly not impossible. Normally, caffeine actually raises fever, and most of the caffeine withdrawal symptoms mimic the opposites of the effects of caffeine, so fever seems an unlikely symptom, but it could conceivably happen in some cases. If your fever is high, however, it is more likely a sign of something else, like some sort of illness or infection. What is more common with caffeine withdrawal is a feeling of malaise (feeling generally bad throughout your whole system with no clear cause) and aches and pains. These symptoms are often associated with illnesses that cause fever, like the flu, so a person experiencing caffeine withdrawal may experience these symptoms and think they are having a fever when in reality they are just not. Making sure to drink enough water and eating a balanced array of healthy, natural foods, and getting moderate exercise, can all help moderate your body to get through the caffeine withdrawal quickly. The worst of it will be over within a few days.
