You can become addicted to caffeine - often causing headaches, no motivation, etc. I would have slowly reduced the amount as opposed to dropping everything, but since it's done - just let time tell. She should be fine after a few days or so.

I have been where I am on tons of caffeine. When I was trying to bring it down under about 200mgs a day it probably took me a couple weeks to function at the lower amount normally.
