The reality is somewhere in between. Caffeine is addictive but it is certainly not a strong physical addiction, for it is relatively easy to stop taking caffeine. The true addiction is psychological and is the most widespread addiction on earth.

Good job. and ya i did read it. I have read it- because this is in my book. You didn't read it. sweet!

You do realize that article was written by some half-ass college student as an undergraduate report right? I am seriously afraid if you are in any way related to the healthcare industry...

There is physical dependence.

that there is often an accompanying psychological dependence is irrelevant considering what you claimed

You realize 200 mg of caffiene is about twice that of a cup of coffee. No surprise you're having problems with them.
Caffiene pills also hit you a lot faster than coffee (personal experience).

If you seriously can't survive without caffiene, and won't consume the usual drinks, at least grind those pills up so you have smaller dosages.

And i am done arguing with you people. His sources are all from credible sources, but i can't expect you to read or know them so the link i posted gives you a list. Please read all of that and then come back to me. Because right now, i find it funny that you are arguing against all of this cited work. Physical dependence would mean that it is difficult to stop taking the drug..... Duh? and i know that i can stop drinking coffee anytime... so wait...... what does that mean?

Please keep it up, you are both sounding so intelligent.

You are so depressingly dumb.

I have not argued against that paper because I need not; it admits that there is physical dependence.

Well, I'm going to step in between the bicker fest and say that Misrah is right, you're being a baby, don't "ride it out," just take a couple ibuprofen when your headache starts and it'll be gone in a few minutes... jeez...

And Misrah, Rule 11: http://rulesoftheinternet.com/index.php5?title=Main_Page sorry T_T

caffeine is unhealthy for you. moreover, what you gain in wakefulness and energy you probably lose in coherence and cohesion.

anyway, caffeine is addictive but we're not talking about alcoholism or heroine addiction or anything too rough.

stop drinking caffeine, because 1) it sucks and you probably just don't realize how much it sucks, and 2) like you do recognize, it'll help you achieve your goal.

if you start to get a headache, take an aspirin and move on with your life

Although it's my fault for creating a shitty thread in the first place, this is getting a little out of hand. I'm heading out for the night, thanks to all who gave advice. If any mod wants to close this, that's fine by me.

Why not just drink diet soda? Most diet soda still has caffeine in it, so you can get your caffeine without getting fat.


I was looking through these pages to find this post. Hard to believe that only one person would suggest the super obvious solution.

OK well- medical person here so this is what i have to say-

1. Milk will help to sooth the stomach, and taking them with milk can be a good thing. However milk is not something you should be drinking when you are trying to lose weight, unless it's skim. And no i don't think that milk would have any contraindications with caffeine pills.

2. Caffeine does not cause physical dependence, in fact it's just mental so the 'withdrawal' is really very minor and it would be far easier on you and your body to just cold turkey caffeine.

3. if you don't want to cold turkey- then i would simply suggest buying a 75% and up dark chocolate bar, and eat a bit here and there when your head aches begin. Chocolate that has a high % of coca beans is good for you, and contains caffeine. Also Tea would be a great choice! Eating caffeine pills is not going to wean you off the stuff, i would suggest doing something like the above.

any questions?



He says he's dieting and you recommended that he eat chocolate on a daily basis. Nice. What exactly is a "medical person," might I ask?

Diet soda is ridiculously unhealthy, and aspartame can cause you to gain weight due to it inducing hunger.

Diet soda tastes worse? Caffeine pills + milk is much better tasting :O

Also it is better to use ephedra or something with the caffeine :p

Seems like at least this source is contradicting you, and thats like the first link I checked on a standard google search...
http://www.caffeinedependence.org/caffeine_dependence.html

A good % of regular caffein users (coffee, tea (other than white or green which contain roughly 0 caffein), energy drinks or cola) and myself included will experience headache/fatigue, usually in the morning, right until they gulp down that first cup.

Anyway its not that big of a thing to deal with. I'd suggest gradually lowering your daily intake by trying the suggestions that were given, cocoa beans, tea, coffee, etc. It will make the caffein crash and the morning headache lesser

Diet soda is perfectly safe. The reason why everyone says its bad for you is due to a study that found many people who drink diet soda have shitty diets (ie: hey I'm drinking diet soda that means I can gorge on more garbage) which the media has distorted into "drinking diet soda will make you eat more and get fat, diabetes and heart disease and die alone in a ditch". Ok, maybe not the ditch part.
