I didn't know that. Not surprised.

But I have gone without coffee for days and

Each day I take 100 mg of indomethacin (gout)
and an asprin (circulatory). If they help my
spasticity, I would surely not want to
experience withdrawal.

For most people, only during the early days,
then we are dealing with the after effects.
However, for a few percent the inflammation
propensity is chronic.
