So I haven't had anxiety in months. The Seroquel has quelled it. Until today after a venti cold brew and voila, I'm freaking nuts. This stuff is highly caffeinated, brewed for over 20 hours. I'm off all benzos bc I used to abuse them so I have to wait it out. I will never drink this stuff again. It causes major anxiety. I also notice I feel rage. Not a good choice for me.

Sometimes caffeine is like drinking water to me, and other times it's like throwing dynamite into the fire. I really enjoy coffee, and energy drinks so I have to know what result I'm likely to get in adjusting my caffeine. Hit the double rockstar at the wrong time and yep, it's gonna be a rough ride.
Thanks for this!

I stopped caffeine years ago since it increased my anxiety. I've gone on decaf and it seems to work well.
Thanks for this!

I try to avoid caffeine, ever since my pdoc told me not to drink it. Thanks for the Starbuck's warning.

I stay away from the cold brew for just that reason.

Same here. I had to cut way back & switch to decaf due to anxiety.
