Hi people,
I'm interested if someone had these experiences, for example, using drugs for a short time (not marijuana) and deciding to abstain, and after about a week to 10 days, a simple coffee has this huge weird effects like chills, drastic paranoia, hyperactivity, fear, conspiracy doubts... (so definitely not happy or productive feelings).
Anybody has an idea what could it be, a term, or where to read about it?
Thanks

Here's an article from the archives, but without mention of those side effects.

It is a stimulant. Doesn't sound like a reaction to coffee nor soda, perhaps an energy drink could have such side effects?

Have you spoken with your doctor about this, during your detoxification?

Thanks healingme4me, there are many effects explained.
The thing is, one of my female neighbors also avoid drinking coffee, and when I ask her why she doesn't drink, she say that coffee makes her nervous. I didn't wanted to go into details cause she told me that her husband had drug issues before they got children, but maybe she has the same issue as I am. Or maybe I'm just projecting...

Something tells me that coffee may have this influence on behavior (in a after-using-drugs period) cause some of the brain chemistry is still recovering and is sensitive to any changes. I don't know what chemistry exactly, but maybe the same centers that were impacted with other drugs. Just maybe...
