Top Ten Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms

Are you are aware of how addicting caffeinated beverages can be?

Caffeine withdrawal is now a recognizable disorder according the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
The detoxification of caffeine presents many symptoms, which can be noticed after quitting caffeine even if it was only consumed for a few days in a row, but these symptoms only last a few days to a week so there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

1. Headache: usually starts behind the eyes and then moves up the front of the head

2. Sleepiness: not the regular tiredness, this is sitting up straight but still can’t keep your eyes open tiredness

3. Irritability: let me put it this way…It’s best just to lock yourself in your room during this stage
