While there is still ongoing debate as to how caffeineshould be classified substance wise, anyone that has ever tried to quit caffeine can attest thatthe withdrawal symptoms can be quite uncomfortable.

So, in some sense, caffeine is definitely addictive. At any rate, caffeine is the most used psychoactive substance on the planet, therefore, it must have at least some grip on the billions of people who consume caffeine daily.

What’s Wrong with Being Addicted to Caffeine?

Generally speaking, there is no right or wrong answer here, but instead, it greatly depends on the individual.

If caffeine is interfering with your ability to lead a productive and well adjusted life, then cutting back may be in order.

• Spending too much money on caffeinated products.
• Always using caffeine instead of proper sleep.
• Becoming tolerant of extreme caffeine amounts.

May all be some good reasons to evaluate your addiction to the substance.

Also, if your health is being affected due to a caffeine allergy or underlying heart condition then caffeine may need to be eliminated from your diet.

On the other hand, if caffeine isn’t being abused, you enjoy it, and it helps you be productive there probably isn’t any reason to not enjoy it.

If you have to be addicted to something, I guess there are far worse addictions out there than caffeine addiction.
