It's already been proven fact.

You have to work yourself off it slowly. I'm down to one cup a day. but I ain't ever quitting

Absolute fact. In the words of Ron Burgandy - "It's science"

I've experienced them too...but caffeine is a physically addictive drug that yields physical problems when someone stops taking it. It's science.

FACT!!!

Im am going through caffeine withdraws NOW!!! I started the south beach diet on Monday and cant have any sugar or caffeine. Monday night I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. I shook terribly and had the worse headache.

Fact. A few months ago my sleep patterns were all fucked up and I was hitting Starbucks at 4:30 am every morning. It was very hard to wean myself off.

Ya know what? It was fun for awhile, and all the Starbucks people liked me because there's nothing going on at that time. Plus, driving there was sweet. No traffic. But I got run the fuck down.

kidelrich said:

did you order in the language of Starbucks, or did you just ask for a medium coffee?

kidelrich said:

I wouldn't. I'd sniff coke and stay up even if it killed me, which it probably would.

You could definitely be one of my friends. Although, I just drink.

two weeks of living hell


decided it wasn't worth it & went back on it asap.. i've managed to cut it down to a few cups a week after a yr or so

FACT!
i have a headache right now..i need some coke...

fact. and you know it when u get a caffiene fix and you're fine again.

when I was attempting to kick caffeine long ago I would take tylenol for the headaches, useless that was, when I realized how much caffeine was in tylenol I was pissed.

i have since given up that battle, giving up sugar is a little easier for me, I have cut down substantially.

There is no caffeine in Tylenol. Tylenol is acetaminophen.

Maybe there's some headache-specific Tylenol that contains it? Some headache drugs have some, because it constricts blood vessels, so even if you're not in withdrawal it can help ease headaches.

Caffeine + naproxen is the ONLY thing that will stop migraines for me.

The caffeine is in there to accelerate the drug into the blood stream. I'll see if I can find a reference, unless they have changed the composition since the 80's which is possible, but I remember reading this someplace and being pissed.

this is from the tylenol site, I was wrong



Q: Does Regular or Extra Strength TYLENOL* acetaminophen contain caffeine?

A: No, but caffeine is included in TYLENOL* ULTRA RELIEF. Caffeine combined with acetaminophen is a proven pain relief enhancer for tough headaches and migraine pain.
