I had a pretty good 2-3 16 oz. Cokes + 1 coffee or enegy drink a day habit during grad school, and went cold turkey when I graduated. I was definitely making use of some Tylenol for the first day or two, but then I was fine. I don't think cold turkey is nearly is as bad as people have made it out to be.
The only difference I've noticed is losing a few pounds (that's the 400 calories of sugar) and a more constant energy level through the day. Before, I would get a caffeine rush when I woke up, then crash, then drink more, then feel sluggish, etc. until I finally got tired and went to sleep at 2 AM. Now I'm much more level through the day, and I have to say I prefer it. I think I may sleep a little better on average.
I do miss my Coca-Cola classic with salty foods, though.
