  • Psychiatry
  • Addiction Medicine

Background:

  • Caffeine is a widely consumed stimulant with increasing scrutiny regarding its potential for dependence.
  • Co-morbidity of caffeine dependence with other substance use disorders and psychiatric conditions is a growing concern.
  • Understanding caffeine's dependence potential is crucial for public health and clinical practice.

Observation:

  • A case of primary caffeine dependence solely from over-the-counter caffeine tablets is presented.
  • The patient exhibited marked dependence, necessitating intervention.
  • Associated factors like personality and nicotine use were considered in relation to caffeine withdrawal.

Findings:

  • Exclusive use of caffeine tablets can lead to significant physiological and psychological dependence.

  • Caffeine withdrawal symptoms can be challenging, potentially influenced by individual factors.
  • Heavy caffeine use can create a cycle of dependence that is difficult to break without support.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores that caffeine, even in over-the-counter forms, can cause serious dependence.
    • A supportive inpatient environment may be essential for managing severe caffeine dependence.
    • Further research into caffeine dependence and its management is warranted.
