discussion Does having caffeine give you anxiety?

[Kh-Loud]

I drink too much caffein that I don’t feel **** anymore but the crash a few hours after consumption but I’m an addict, I can’t stop! 

[WEEKND]

No but it sends me

straight to the loo. 

[X~MoviePoP]

Yes after the initial rush and feeling good for 30 min i start feeling sad and anxiety comes in and i for some reason have to chug water to get it out of my system

[naval23]

It gives me more anxiety when I miss a cup tbh

[byzantium]

Yeah.  For that reason I highly control how much caffeine I consume.  I try not to have more than a cup of black tea or 1 expresso a day.

I once got the largest size at Starbucks after pulling an all-nighter for some schoolwork, I thought I was gonna die that day 

[JungleJuice]

No. I'm drinking some now at work but I still feel the edibles from last night 

[Marry The Gods]

Yeah I'm thinking about cutting down on my caffeine intake for this reason.

[Ewan Chaos]

Not exactly, but coffee gives me the shakes  I used to drink it too, in light doses at least, so I'm not sure what happened. Just a black tea in the morning if I'm tired and I'm good. Caffeine in other things like soda doesn't really affect me too much, thankfully.

[Goaty]

Yes. I only have it in preworkout before the gym and I have to be careful with how much I take. 
 

And if I have any after like 1 or 2pm I sleep terribly

no i have ADHD so i love caffeine

I feel like it makes my adderall feel more potent lol

[Saddy]

Yes

[DamianSolo]

Only if I drink black coffee. Energy drinks, or regular lattes and such, don't give me anxiety.

[Pop Life]

I'm an anxious person, that love the aroma and taste of coffee. I ended up just buying a coffee grinder and mixing half regular and half decaf beans together every morning. 

 

[Alldeezy]

not having caffeine gives me anxiety 

[zasderfght]

No. But the Cymbalta probably helps with that. 

[spree]

yes I had to quit caffeine all together recently.  It's been getting progressively worse thru time.  I actually have trained myself to enjoy decaf now. No cokes or iced teas or anything.  I got anxiety from less than 1 cup of coffee, and heart racing too.  I used to be very hardcore like trenta Starbucks iced coffee's, brew in the morning, sodas, etc.  Not anymore.  I'm fine, I'm much better.  It's easier than you think to quit.   I make decaf every morning now and I don't even think twice about it.  Does apple juice do anything to you? Does water?  Why does coffee have to "do something" to you?  That's how I wrapped my mind around decaf and now i'm totally fine with it. 

[Kiss It Better]

no but it makes me sleepy

[CristianGarcia]

Yeah I can’t drink coffee everyday 

[Gladiator]

no. Although lately I've started to get some chest pain from all of the caffeine that I consume (I really drink a **** load of caffeine) and I have been trying to get myself off of it.

[Komet]

Not really, unless I drink 4 or more espressos in a row. Although the only time I feel caffeine gives me energy boost is rn during the summer when blood pressure drops due to the heat. The only other effect it has is if I were to drink it before sleep - I'll still be tired and sleepy, only now I won't be able to fall asleep so I don't get the point.

 

Energy drinks are worse for me, my heart starts beating weird, idk how people drink those all the time. Although it's fine when I mix it with vodka lmao 

[gagacasanova]

It Goes one of two ways for me... it does nothing or it's like someone just gave me crack.

[AvadaKedavra]

Sometimes but i need it to wake up
