Caffeine; love it or hate it

[j2005]

How many of you can do caffeine? Cokes, coffee, chocolate?

I can take a little, but too much and I'll freak out with anxiety symptoms. I think I'm dying after a great cup of coffee.

Often it affects me the next day, even though caffeine only stays in your system about 4-6 hours...weird.

I miss coffee and coke.

How about you?

I can only do the equivalent of 20oz of caffeinated pop. I used to drink nothing but Dr. pepper.

I love coffee!, always been a huge part of my day, but now I have to cut it down or end my love affair with coffee!! Lol

Haven't had a sip of caffeine in 3 years.

I used to drink a lot of Starbucks frapuccino. Which I came down to the conclusion that thats what introduced me to the anxiety world. Ive been a coffee lover since I was a kid, but I'm going to face it, i drink some coffee here and there, even though I know that I might get a little freaky afterwards, I just can't live without drinking at least a good frappuccino once a week. "COFFEE" I hate you with passion.......... But at the same time... I love you with a passion.".

Luckily for me caffeine doesn't seem to affect my anxiety levels- thank god because I can not function without my morning coffee!

I can have coffee no problem but I used to neck energy drinks like mad.. Stopped and it definitely helped..

I had my first attack/derealization moment while having a double shot of espresso, I haven't touched it since, I'm too scared.
I'm doing decaf American for now and it sucks :-)

After i drank coffee one night, i got this sense of dying and called for ambulance which lands me in A&E and diagnosed with panic attack, which then turned into panic disorder. I normally have my coffee double dosed and its probly like 4-6 cups a day. i havent touched coffee since. This was just a month and 2 weeks ago.
