I've been consuming caffeine everyday of my life since I can remember
Not in LARGE doses, but 200-300mg MAX. Most days around 150mg
Now I stopped for 2 months straight. Hardest thing to do but w/e I did it.
Everything during that time seemed slow, I just wasn't "me".
Now that I'm re introducing caffeine in small amounts. My attention, reasoning, concentration is SO much better.
With that said, is it possible for my body over time to adapt to caffeine as a "vital" supplement to be consumed daily ?

Sounds a bit like addiction.

As far as I know yes, I can't bring the source to mind but I'm fairly sure I read that caffeine does affect a person in that way with time and a certain baseline dosage becomes required to maintain normal functioning.

I can't find where I originally read it, but here is an article that seems to suggest potential for dependence as illustrated by impaired functioning during withdrawal.

If you're interested in sifting through the results, then searches for caffeine withdrawal, addiction and dependence bring up plenty of results in google scholar and pubmed.
