Caffeine withdrawal results once the user ceases consuming caffeine, which unmasks receptors in the brain that produce these symptoms. Caffeine withdrawal tends to be fairly consistent with those of other drugs, but without the life-threatening severity seen in such drugs as benzodiazepines or alcohol. Caffeine withdrawal from heavy use of caffeine typically begin within 24 hours of caffeine cessation and they include:
- headaches
- fatigue
- irritability
- anxiety
Caffeine withdrawal can persist for up to a week or more and can, for some people, be sufficiently intolerable. Many prefer a return to using caffeine to subdue the effects felt during caffeine withdrawal.
