10 Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms
Symptom #5: Lack of Concentration
It is not a surprise to expect that withdrawing from caffeine intake can result in poor concentration. Since caffeine is a stimulant, taking it increases alertness so that you are able to concentrate much more compared to the concentration achieved during a caffeine-free period.
The reason behind this is that caffeine promotes the release of hormones and neurotransmitters that are associated with elevated alertness and ability to concentrate such as dopamine and epinephrine. When the body readjusts after getting used to these stimulant effects, surges of decreased concentration at work or school can be experienced immediately.
