I've been out out caffeine since January because I did something similar (and got similar withdrawal symptoms): I started by mixing regular coffee beans with decaf ones. First two weeks I used a 25/75% decaf to regular mix, next two weeks 50/50%, then 75%/25%, etc.

The key for my was finding good quality (and expensive) decaf coffe beans. After triying differente brands I settled with Lavazza.

ctrijuequeon The Hard Truth About Boiled Eggs (2014)

I used to have one of those, but a few months ago I switched to the pressure cooker method (electric one, the [Instan Pot][1]):
