[edit]"Taking over 300mg of caffeine daily over a long period of time will overstimulate the nervous system and produce nervousness, a flushed face, muscle twitching, irregular and/or rapid heart beat (tacchycardia),rambling thoughts and speech.[citation needed]" - This is a pretty bold claim to make without any kind of citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.225.85 (talk) 14:51, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit]I think this page needs to be merged with the Caffeine page. There is no reason to have it separate, all other drugs have the addiction section within the drug's article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.147.5.95 (talk) 01:27, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- I agree. This also solves the problem of this being an orphaned article and should attract more attention to it so it can be improved. Stu42 (talk) 11:40, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Merge, OR & other problems
[edit]I agree that it should be merged with Caffeine. Additionally, I think that the article suffers from original research and problematic structure (e.g. "Caffeine's mechanism of action" is out of subject, as well as "Headaches" and "Behavioral effects"). Fot these reasons, have I just added the OR and Merge template messages. Btw, I don't understand the purpose of this one: Thanks mostly in part to Burchfield, C. Hedges, D. Mind, Brain and Drug: An Introduction to Psychopharmacology 2006, Pearson Education, Inc., pp. 144–146, & Professor James Epps, Ph.D. at USFP.--Dipa1965 (talk) 17:11, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Style/tone is clumsy and stilted
[edit]This article needs to be rewritten to sound more smooth. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 22:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

[edit]Throughout the article, I was confused by the major subjects and how they did not seem to be talked about in the Lead or vise versa. Throughout the article, I added new information with their citations to add more precise definitions to the topic.
"Caffeine dependence can be determined in individuals who exhibit tolerance, withdrawal, desire, and continued problems that have known to be increased from caffeine usage."
"One area of concern that has been presented is the relationship between pregnancy and caffeine consumption. When looking at the relationship between pregnancy and caffeine, larger doses of 100mg of caffeine suggested to decrease birth length in birth. When looking at birth weight however, there was no significant difference when there was a large amount of caffeine consumed." Nicolemicha (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Caffeine use disorder
[edit]I have recently created Caffeine use disorder as a redirect, which currently redirects to this article. I wonder, should it perhaps instead redirect to the Definition section? I have so far, though, not gathered enough material to make it a stand-alone article, and I doubt that it will be in the future either.
Additionally, Caffeine § Dependence and withdrawal includes additional information on the topic, such as the conceptual similarity to Caffeine dependence, which is apparently part of the ICD-11 (I just made the redirect in order to improve the DSM-5 article, and haven't really dug deep into this specific topic as of now). That makes me wonder, why does this article not mention the ICD-11? Indeed, it may seem like I am just being lazy, but I am in fact an active Wikipedian,[citation needed] and can't do everything I want to accomplish here at the same time.

AI text
[edit]Hi - I tagged this article as possibly AI-generated, specifically the text that originates in this student edit. Some cleanup has been done but a lot of that text is still there. Gnomingstuff (talk) 01:26, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
