10 Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms
Symptom #3: Muscle Pain
Episodes of decreased muscle activity have been reported among people who have stopped using caffeine. This usually manifests as getting easily tired when exercising or engaging in other physical activity. Such a symptom is especially common among people who are used to taking caffeine during their workouts and high-energy exercises.
Upon withdrawal from caffeine, these people suddenly realize that they are unable to sustain the same level of intense activities without feeling extremely fatigued. Stiffness and cramps, as a result of increased tension in the muscles, usually accompany the muscle pain. The pain is related to changes in blood flow to muscles upon cessation of caffeine intake.
