It's a stimulant: All forms of caffeine & nicotine are xanthenes , a chemical family that crosses into the brain & acts as a stimulant. How it effect an individual is both dose & genetically determined. Some have few side effects, some quite a few. If you knoe this happens & it bothers you just do decaf.
