[...] If you aren’t used to drinking a ton of caffeine go slowly and listen to the messages your body is sending you. Don’t overdue it, bad things can happen [...]

I have been taking Vivarin for 20+ years. I have a hard time getting by without it on some days. I believe if you take it as prescribed that all will be will in the world. We all need a little something to get us going in the morning!

i’m currently writing a repot on the effects of caffeine and it isn’t actually addictive. it causes the body to become dependent rather than addicted. dependence is similar to addiction but the effects aren’t as severe. please check this website if you are interested in knowing more

“Few caffeine users report loss of control of caffeine intake or significant difficulty in reducing or stopping caffeine if desired. Thus, caffeine is not addictive and is not listed in the category of addicting stimulants.” Caffeine isn’t addictive like pot and alcohol aren’t addictive. Unlike heroine they do not create a physical dependence. But like many substance, plenty of people become addicted. In fact caffeine causes withdrawal symptoms for many people who try to quit after consuming large amounts of it for long times. Your right to suggest that it is less addictive than many things, or to say that caffeine addiction rarely causes serious problems, but to say it is flat out not addictive is a lie.

After reading this article, I still don’t believe it. I drink “cokes” or sodas if you wish every day, and glasses of them, specifically the diet kind. I quit drinking them for a week or two one time. (I was trying to think of of my health.) However, the withdrawal effects made me feel blah. I was really really tired, had a loss of concentration, some headaches, and constant thoughts about wanting another one. But..it’s tough for me..I feel stupid, but I’ve just been drinking them my whole life. I’m gonna quit though..I mean it’s just in my best interest..but I’ve recently made a slight improvement..now I’m stuck on drinking bottles of Propel water!!

all of you are wrong. pot, in in itself is not addictive. however, Tetra- Hydra- Chloride, the crystalized drug on weed, is. withdrawl symptoms include headaches, frustration, short temper, sensetivity to light and loud noises, exostion, and extreme fatigue. mind you, the time period for these effects are all dependent on your personal motabalism and body wight. as THC is stored in your body fat.
