Caffeine is not chemically addictive. It can lead to depedency but that is not addiction. Motivation and wanting are not altered but unpleasant withdrawl effects can occur.
What’s the point of this distinction, what does it mean that it’s not chemically addictive? It causes withdrawals, dependence, it definitely acts on brain chemistry.
How do you explain the headaches and exhaustion durring withdrawal then?
That's just how life feels without caffeine, not a withdrawal effect.
