Anyone ever have caffeine withdrawal?
Obviously you think I'm nuts if you ready last 2 questions. But I wanna know what this is. The doc said I could be having withdrawals from the caffeine filled preworkout drinks I take before the gym since I haven't had them in 5 days. I'm dizzy, insanely minor headaches that last a few minutes (not many AT ALL), and I wake up with my hands 'asleep'. This could be complete anxiety considering I think I have a brain tumor and my clear CT scan missed it because I read online that CT scans won't always find brain Tumors. Idk what to do lol.

Yes. Typically my withdraw only manifests as all day non-stop headaches (which can be 100% alleviated with a single children's NSAID once a day) although there can be brief periods of extreme fatigue associated.
Waking up with hands asleep could conceivably be related to withdrawal but that seems somewhat doubtful. Likely its psychosomatic especially considering that you're worried about having a brain tumor. Your doc may suspect tumor but in most cases it's such an unlikely disease that he will not recommend testing. The diagnostic procedures for a brain tumor can cost multiple thousands of dollars to assess for a condition that an otherwise healthy young man might have a 1:50,000 or so chance of having. Yes, doctors have to make moral judgment calls - they balance cost, time, and patient suffering with probabilities of a certain condition being the problem. Regardless, the progression or retraction of symptoms will occur over time and generally provide more insight into the cause of the discomforts without substantially increasing your risk of death or serious injury.
