discussion Does having caffeine give you anxiety?

[punisher]

Whenever I even have 1 coffee or energy drink I always get bad symptoms of anxiety and I think I’m going to try quitting it. Does this happen to you? 

 

Can someone move this to lounge, I accidentally posted to base

[makeme]

Yeah and it sucks because I used to be able to drink so much. I don't touch caffeine at all anymore I feel like it releases cortisol.

[Selegend]

Yes, a lot of anxiety but i'm still addicted. So i'm just an anxious addicted, it's a mess. 

thanfully it's just caffeine tho. 

 

 

[Distantconstellation]

It does to me. Any caffeine whether it be from Chocolate, green tea or a soda. I also get neck pain from caffeine. I

[ScorpiosGroove]

yes, caffeine’s just lite cocaine

 

that’s why i only drink decaf lattés now even tho i never had problems with caffeine before

Coffee just makes me ****, it doesn't keep me awake and it doesn't give me anxiety. I could chug a pot of coffee and then take a nap for 12 hours.

That’s another reason I want to get off it ASAP

[Antisocialites]

no, it actually calms me down a lot and puts me in a very relaxing mood, especially after having lunch and early in the night. 

[hallucinate]

No unless I drink like 5 cups

[BGKC]

I didn’t think it was a contributor to my anxiety (I didn’t think it did anything, I just liked it) but after I took it out of my daily routine and replaced it with kombucha I felt less anxious with less of a midday crash. I used to have 2-3 large cold brews a day.

When the effect wears off and I haven‘t drunk or eaten much besides 2 cups of coffee (unfortunately this happens to me every now and then), then yes a little. When I keep drinking water and eat a little something in between it‘s fine.

[Virgos Groove]

Yes, it left me feeling awful.  I've reduced to only one having a cup of Ricoré in the morning.

[GentleEarthquake]

Not at all

[Devin]

Yea reasons why I tone down on my coffee intake.

[Trent W]

Depends on the person

 

If you are an anxious person having daily doses of caffeine is not a good idea

Yes it does give you anxiety but study say if drink a medium dose of coffee/caffeine, it's good for your body. So, give it take. 

[NeonTiger]

yes, that's why I only drink decaf 

[Axelios]

I only get it when I drink way too much caffeine.

[playboi]

yes it triggers my anxiety like crazy and on bad days my dp/dr as well 

 

But I also have severe insomnia so I have no choice but to drink it 

[bad guy]

Depends but once you gain tolerance that goes away. Then again sometimes coffee makes me tired so 

[Aslan]

It makes me s#it

the caffeine makes your body realize you need sleep, but your body needs that sleep either way
