Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Caffeine : Taking that much caffeine would expose you to the drug's side effects, which include being jittery and shaky; rapid heart rate; anxiety; difficulty sleeping; headaches; dizziness; dehydration, etc. Used routinely, caffeine can be habituating or addicting. It can and does induce a withdrawal syndrome.

Dr Fowler and 3 doctors agreed
