The article's actual title doesn't state this, but the headline in the sidebar did and instantly gave me that "this was a mystery?" look of confusion on my face. No one was here to see it. Everyone loses. But srsly, are people not aware of this? The nervousness, depression, massive headaches... people weren't attributing that to caffeine withdrawal? Well folks, now you know. Thank you CNN.
On a personal note, I pretty much gave up caffeine maybe eight years ago, or so. I don't even remember anymore. Mostly because the withdrawal was hitting me too hard and too frequently. I figured since I don't really NEED the caffeine there's really no loss in cutting it out of my diet. So basically, only decaf coffee and tea and no caffeinated beverages. The only exceptions I make are for chocolate (both solid and hot), but those are very small amounts by comparison and I've never felt any reaction from consuming chocolate.
