If 200mg gave you a headache, you aren't even close to caffiene addiction. I had 6 200mg caps after pulling an allnighter and fell asleep in class anyway.

If you wanna lose weight, get on a slight calorie deficit and a structured form of weight training.

And the guy who said there are no physical symptoms needs to reread his textbook.

Cold turkey is not the solution! I have been addicted to caffiene/coca cola and all you need to do is reduce how much you have. Just have 1-2 cans a day at most (unless you can't bear not to have 3) then try 1 or 2 cans every second day. I can drink no coke no problem now.
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

This is probably the best solution. I would also suggest getting those caffeine-free ones in the end, since you can sometimes trick your body into thinking its getting caffeine.

The definition of a drug does not imply physical dependence. You're correct that caffeine is physically addictive, but your reasoning is not sound.

This is a little late but -

My fiance had issues with drinking ten cans of Mt. Dew a day...so, to save our wallets a little bit I stepped in and basically threw fit after fit after fit until he agreed to tone it back. He toned it back completely, and started buying Green Tea. He did get headaches at first, was Hell to live with for a while, but we bought Midol to help the headaches (don't laugh, it works) and over a span of a couple weeks, he got better.

The Green Tea really does work. He's lost about ten pounds so far just by doing that.

Milk is good to drink when taking any caffiene, as caffiene displaces some calcium

I think I may be addicted to caffiene because when I don't have it, I have splitting, nonstop headaches

but one enegry drink a day does it for me. maybe because i'm 130lbs.

However, try to take away someone's coffee abruptly and chances are they will experience withdrawal symptoms (2). The body develops a dependence on caffeine which is very obvious; stop drinking coffee for a day after being a regular drinker and get a headache, then drink coffee and it goes away.


good job



There's a difference between drugs which create a physical dependence and a mental dependence. Misrah said caffeine is the former to which you refute that it's definitely one of the two.
Well done.

Is Misrah getting flamed just because he said he's studying medicine AND posted a true fact?

I'm South American and I have yet to hear that someone suffered from a physical withdrawal symptom for not drinking coffee in a week. Though, I have heard of psychological symptoms.

I think in North America coffee is artificially polluted with unnatural caffeine shots to provide a bigger "boost" or some crazy-weird shit like that.

Nobody here has had the shakes/headaches, from caffeine withdrawal? I'm not talking the one coke a day withdrawal, I'm talking the 10-12 large coffees a day withdrawal. Its there, and its very real... This pretty much sums up my views:

Why not just coffee? You can drink it black and it has very little calories.
