I think I'm Addicted to Coffee

[det0xX]

Every day I wake up and I have a big cup of coffee that I made the night before. I love the taste of it and I'll have it with milk with sugar or even just plain black. I have like 3-4 a day sometimes just cause I'm bored and it's like juice to me.
However there is sometimes mornings like this morning I have a splitting headache even after I drank my coffee so I have another one right after and I feel fine then.
Anyone else like this?

3-4 time is ok i guess

You are fine with 6 medium espressos which will be around 500 mg of caffeine.

Make sure you hydrate properly (with plain water) since most headaches related to caffeine are caused due to dehydration and they are not directly connected to the alkaloid.

You addicted? I'm going for coffee because I've seen that "Coffee" keyword.

I was like that for a long a time.

I got off caffeine a few weeks ago and got the headaches too.

Maybe a mild case of withdrawals?

Lots of water too like stelios0 said.

As another user mentioned, headaches most often come from dehydration, especially after waking up. Drink a tall glass of water when you wake up and you'll probably feel better straight away.

Someone told me once to drink a big glass of water before you go to bed because during the night your body uses lots of water. I do that, then I do the same in the morning.

Also I drink 3 coffees per day (each one with water/milk and then double shot).

Man, I remember when I drank 15 cups of coffee a day, then at the night my chest felt very tight, and could barely breathe.
I thought I would die right then and there, after that i stopped drinking coffee for a month, damn.. i love coffee a lot, even now.

Everyone reacts differently to caffeine. Some can have 800mg and feel little, some are nervous after 1 cup of coffee. The same goes for what / how much you feel when you are 'off caffeine'.

I used to drink a lot of energy drink daily (suger free) for years, until I started feeling really, really tihert everyday when I didn't drink them. Also big headaches came and went.

Caffeine messes with your neurotransmitter receptors, it mimicks adenosine (that's why you don't feel tihert). Our brain isn't stupid and just makes more adenosine receptors. That's what makes you feel like crap, or to 'need some coffee' when you stop drinking (can even be after a few hours, if you are really addicted).

Coffee is not good for health, better go with tea without milk and see the impact. Tea need to original.

It's time for detox!

I know many people get a headache if they don't get their daily fix. Note the migraine medicine Excedrin uses Aspirin , Acetaminophen and CAFFEINE!

I drink coffee espresso 2-3 every day for the last 10 years. I need my coffee as soon as i woke up. I really love it

Well i turn caffeine to code. I can't code without coffee. I tried to stop coffee for couple of days and i couldn't function as a human being. Slept for 15+ hours.

Lemme know if you find a solution.

The only option is to quit cold turkey. You don't 'need' it, you conditioned your brain into tricking you to needing it.

Accept the total lethargy, dopamine crash, headaches and being very cranky for a week or two and then it's over

Trust me, I've been there multiple times. It's comparable to stop smoking or a couple of other drugs.

I drink at least 5/6 cups a day, I feel you LOL

 

[BentMo]

Man, reading the title of your thread made me prepare a hazelnut coffee

 

[SEOMadHatter]

3-4 a day isn't a huge deal I know plenty of people on a lot more. I draw the line at 3 a day personally but that's because I'm vibrating off the chair at that point.

Keep a bottle of water with you between coffees. The headaches are likely dehydration.

I drink a pre-workout supplement that has 200mg of caffeine per serving, five days a week. I think four cups of coffee probably has about the same amount. You'll be fine!

Say what?

If I drink a big glass of water before bed, I have to get up to pee in the middle of the night!

But, a big glass of water in the morning is really good for you, just like you said. I think most people walk around chronically dehydrated for their entire lives!

My vice isn't coffee; it's soda (pop, coke, soft drinks)
