Signs of Caffeine Addiction

I've found the withdrawal period is three days long. It can be controlled with tylenol and hydration. You will also need to plan for sudden attacks of sleepiness. Pseudophedrine can relieve some of the symptoms as well, and is not normally habit forming, but should be used with caution.
The best time to recover is over a long weekend. You may need to inform your family that you will be sleeping irregularly.
Relapse is likely on a day when you are suffering from allergies or fatigue. This restarts the three day withdrawal cycle.

So all week I have been having these weird symptoms. Everything that this caffeine withdrawal thing said. I went to the doctor and they said it could be the stomach flu and to go back if I don't get better. Normally I drink Starbucks coffee's everyday sometimes twice a day even after I have a morning cup of coffee at home. My friends made a joke that coffee withdrawals is why i am feeling like this. Now I think they are right.
