How much caffiene do you consume?
I had just been prescribed a script for an ssri for generalised anxiety, was scared of the side effects, decided to try cutting out coffee instead.
Anxiety gone.
I was only having 2-3 filter cups a day, probably less mg than a single large energy drink but that was enough.
- eastbound 10d agoCoffee is also a temporary antidepressant, so I personally couldn't cut that.
- Felger 10d agoHow much time did it take since you completely cut off caffeine for the anxiety to settle down ?
- ikr678 10d agoTook a few weeks off, couldnt deal with the headaches, went back to one cup every 2-3 days of measured espresso. No more getting anxious and worked up about small things and picking fights with my partner. When you are trying to have none, it's suddenly everywhere and in your face without realising it.
- thorin 9d agoThis is interesting? Do you have any other sources of caffeine in your diet? For instance I would have a regular can of coke maybe once a week and English breakfast tea at least once a day. Only coffee seems to really affect me though. I don't really need the affect but I do like the taste and now probably have 3 or 4 coffees a week rather than 2 a day and it seems to be helping.
