I'm addicted too. You can try to slowly cut back on your intake. Maybe that will help. That's what I've been trying to do but I tend to revert back to drinking it all day long.

Of course it does. You feel more active now that you have 200% of caffeine RDA. Depending how you react to the pills, it could increase your stress with the increase reaction or you can be extremely happy but i guess also freaky with all that energy packed in, like a kid on coffee if you will.

People drink coffee, because it tastes really good, and after time, they sort of become addicted to the caffiene just like people become addicted to niccotine in cigarettes.

There are ALL kinds of addictions from the most minor to most life-altering - and they are a common issue for many. \n\nFor some, they are the obvious, high profile drug-, alcohol- and gambling addictions. \n\nFor some, they are less life-altering...such as addiction to substances such as caffeine - or a food fixation. \n\nBelieve me, you're not alone, no matter what your addiction is.\n\nAnd also - trust me - it's hard, but addictions can be beaten!

not addictive, but people use way too much when instead they should be put on maintenance therapy.   I know people who use 2 inhalers in less than 14 days.

Because it is addictive and habit forming.\nIts part of our health code found in the Doctrine and Covenants section 89 one of our scriptures. but hot drinks tea, and coffee,  are what we cant have, and yes! they do contain caffeine. WE dont take drugs  unless prescribed by a Doctor.\nsee also www.mormom.org\n"A marvelous work and a wonder" by Le Grand Richards.\n\nBy the way, I belong to The church of jesus christ of Latter-Day saints.(Mormons)

It completely depends on the dosage and the person. For someone that does not ingest caffeine on a regular basis, it may take minutes to a few hours to have an affect. What are you doing to the caffeine that it makes you high?

Yes, I am addicted to two cups coffee (about 400mg) in the morning. If I don't have it I'm a mess.

Caffeine is a natural diuretic so yes it does dehydrate you. If you're addicted to it (like myself...DOH!!) be sure to drink plenty of water to replace the water lost.

Caffiene is bad! You may stay awake for an hour or so, but the sugar high leaves and then you're in the dumps without the glucose. If you really think you need little sleep, then sleep during the day.

USA Today states:\n “Although psychological dependence on caffeine has yet to be widely documented, a physical dependence upon the drug is very evident. Caffeine dependence can be seen if a person consumes as little as 100 mg. a day, and then tries to stop taking in caffeine. \n\nUSA Today continues that withdrawal symptoms, “which includes headache, fatigue, inability to concentrate, and even nausea and vomiting, can be experienced by those trying to kick the habit.  \n\nThe Marie Claire magazine writes, “Women who consume 250 mg of caffeine daily (that's two to three cups of coffee) have been shown to take slightly longer to conceive, and that, “During pregnancy, consuming the caffeine in five or more cups of coffee a day doubles your risk of miscarriage."\n\nCoffee also dehydrates you rapidly, one cup of coffee needs 2-3 glasses of water to replace the fluid.\n\nHaving said that i drink about 6-8 cups a day and i'm still alive. But i do drink, smoke, drive a car...etc all things that are gonna kill you a lot quicker and do much more harm

Caffeine is the most widely used drug in the world. It is a Central Nervous (Brain & Spinal Cord) stimulant that causes increased heart rate and alertness when taken in moderate amounts.\nWhen taken in high doses it causes anxiety, dizziness, headaches, "the jitters", and insomnia. It is so addictive that it causes withdrawl symptoms when its consumption is abruptly halted.\nNext time you want a coke...grab a bottle of water, instead.

I drink it weekly and find it is somewhat addictive like coffee.  Besides the extra calories, there are no studies that suggest that drinking one a day is hazardous to your health, but like anything else, everything in moderation is the key.  Watch out for the addictive properties, ensure you're physically active and have a good diet.  Check with your Doctor for further consultation.

I feel it is possible mentally but have no proof that they are physically addicting.  I have prescription strength ibuprofen and take it pretty regular.  As far as I know there are no physical addictions related to ibuprofen, but if it works as well for you as it does me, it can be mentally addicting.  Too much of anything is bad for your health, so try and "maintain" with the ibuprofen.

There is no concrete answer as genetics and lifestyle habits will determine the effect of long time caffeine utilization.  I believe i is great but then again I have no job and I am also addicted to Yahoo Answers...I bet Yahoo will come out w/ an article about how great Yahoo Answers are but realistically they are killing productivity worldwide while preparing a propaganda campaign of subconscious self promotion and advertising
