Is caffeine really this addictive for some people?
- Double_a_92 6y agoYou just dont notice the addiction because it's easy to satisfy it whenever you need, and there are no significant side effects.
- scaladev 6y agoOr maybe they actually tried quitting and never noticed any effects? I drink _lots_ of coffee throughout the day (most of my fluid intake is coffee). I don't have any sleep problems, my blood pressure is on the lower side of normal, and I've gone completely without caffeine several times in my life due to various non-related circumstances (like business travel), from a couple of days up to about a fortnight. No withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. I always find comments in these threads a little hard to believe, honestly.
- Double_a_92 6y agoI agree though. All I've experienced is just feeling tired in the morning.
- dahart 6y agoI doubt the author actually needed anything close to a year, physiologically speaking. But almost everyone has withdrawal symptoms when quitting a coffee habit. Clinically, they call it dependence rather than addiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine_dependence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine_dependence
