caffeine addiction

Yes, it's a symptom of addiction. Your body's used to the caffeine and for a day or two, it'll protest when you cut it off.
Personally, I hate being addicted to anything, so if I find myself drinking too much coffee, I go cold turkey.
You may be in a situation where you can't get coffee. If you want something that'll help, Excedrin. It has caffeine and a couple of analgesics. It'll blast away that headache.

You are having a caffine withdraw, have some coffee or a soda or tea and it will go away, if you want to stop drinking coffee you need to wean your self off slowly so you don't get those killer headaches

'Cos your body and brain chemistry has come to expect that dose of caffeine - and skipping your morning coffee disrupts the routine.
Headaches are your body's way of saying, "Look - I'm addicted to this drug (namely caffeine) and I need it NOW. So, if I don't get it, I'm gonna remind you to give it me by making you suffer the withdrawal symptoms of headaches, dry mouth, irritability and short-temper."
So, best to give in - and get your coffee double-strangth.

Coffee can actually cause a headache in some people. It may be that when you wake up, generally people are dehydrated and require liquid and dehydration causes a headache.....

Once you get addicted to caffeine, your body expects it so it goes into a lieelt form of withdrawal i.e. the headache, when it doesnt get the caffeine it was expecting.

your body is waiting for its "fix"of caffeine.
Its a bit like a drunk waiting for the first drink of the day.(I was a drunk)
When I decided to switch to caffeine free coffee,I had to reduce my caffeine intake gradually over a few days,this prevented the headaches.

Caffein withdrawal

Coffee contains caffeine.
Caffeine is a drug, so your body is craving it's "fix", which will give you a severe headache.
Did you know if you drink coffee at 4.00pm it will still be going round your system at 11.00pm !
Happy New Year!
