CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL RECOGNIZED AS A DISORDER

See it here : CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL RECOGNIZED AS A DISORDER

I knew it. And it's no fun at all. Especially the "five clusters of common withdrawal symptoms: headache; fatigue or drowsiness; dysphoric mood including depression and irritability; difficulty concentrating; and flu-like symptoms of nausea, vomiting and muscle pain or stiffness".

Yes, on day 2 I seriously thought I was getting the worst flu ever. I can only imagine what real drug users go through when they detox. Rather, I will only imagine, because if kicking the caffeine is this bad, I don't want to know what coming off something heavily affective is like.

I'm continuing to tough it out. And the pushers have laid off, so I'm getting a relatively clean break, other than Rebecca handing me a chocolate coated granola bar. Yes, there's caffeine in chocolate. It's a double whammy.
