Can your body really become dependent on caffeine?!


Question: Can your body really become dependent on caffeine.?
How do you know .?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I am a caffeine addict. So I know it's possible. I actually roast my own coffee, it is a very important thing in my life. When I get up in the morning I make a big mug of strong coffee and I don't feel 'right' until I've drank it. I've been doing this for about 25 years now.

Once in a great while I'm in a hurry and I don't have my coffee. And about 10:00 or 11:00 in the morning I get this nasty headache. I'm on an e-mail list for home coffee roasters and I read that others have this same problem. If I get this headache, if I drink a cup of coffee it goes away! (Any coffee will do, it doesn't have to be as good as my own coffee).

So I know it's a physical addiction, but not a strong one. I mean, if you are addicted to heroin or morphine, if you quit you could die! Coffee withdrawal only makes me uncomfortable.Health Question & Answer

you don't become dependent, you become addicted ... if you wait too long to have it in the mornings or try to cut it out of your diet, you will experience withdrawal symptoms, usually a massive headache ...Health Question & Answer

Oh, yeah, you stop drinking it you start getting headaches. The key is to slowly wean yourself out of it. If you were use to drinking 5 a day, cut back to 4 and then down to 3 and down to 1 and then down to nothing.Health Question & Answer

It sure can. You get to the point where you'll get a massive headache if you don't have caffeine in your system. When i cut caffeine out of my diet the headache lasted over a week.Health Question & Answer
