Coffee used to make me feel very panicky and anxious....tea has helped a lot -- I suggest English Breakfast (I am a typical tea-drinker from England:-) with some honey and very little milk...I find that has helped me a lot...a nice cup of tea really helps...never understood why the British loved their tea so much....but it helps!! I hope you are feeling better:-) You take care...

Dear Cookie, Thanks so much for your reply. I totally can relate, I take Klonopin at night to sleep and relax, then in the morning I am still slightly sedated and tired because of Klonopins long half-life, so I drink coffee, cigarettes and get all hyper and the panic starts again!! I have been better the last week, I have cut down from 5 huge mugs of coffee to 1 or 2 and it has helped, I also have a little bit to eat, some protein, it has helped alot, caffeine I firmly beleive is the WORST thing for people with panic and anxiety, one cup is alright but excessive is a definate panic trigger. I found this out the hard way. Blood surgar and panic are So closely related I agree with you, what you described with yourself is what I go through, I notice eating better and walking has helped too. I hope you are doing good Cookie, God bless, Debbie.

i have this problem too. it's really hard, though, because when you ahve panic at tnight and take a benadryl (or ativan, xanax or klonipin) to get some sleep you are still drowsy when it is time to wake up. then add coffee in the morning and you are right abck to panic. the best way to get energized is to try not to have to take the sedative at night unless you absolutely have to and maybe take a brisk walk in the am AND eat something! i personally believe there is a huge connection with blood sugar and anxiety whether you test diabetic or not. mine raises sky hihg when i have panic (Sometimes i think it's is the other way around and when my blood sugar rises, i start to panic). i think panic is a sign, an alarm going off in our bodies that we are not taking care of ourselves properly. we are either not eating enough or eating too much junk. maybe we arent exercising. maybe we are drinking too much caffeine. maybe we are taking too many drugs. maybe we smoke cigarettes. etc.

Feeling better Debbi? I miss my coffee too. I drink 2 caffeinated beverages a day, but sometimes it really isn't enough. I think the problem for you is drinking too much at once. If you feel like drinking more coffee, spread it out and you will be less likely to get jittery.

thank you so much for your caring replies. I feel a bit better now, I over-ate for dinner thinking that would help and now I have terrific heartburn and a tummy ache but I will live, the caffiene and anxiety and probably the withdrawal from the Zoloft probably is contributing to it, the panicky feelings have gone away but now I am just physically sick to my stomach {if you are reading this Grace, I now understand what you go through with the fire like acid! Its pretty bad} I hope everyone had a good day, thank you again for listening. God bless you all, Debbie.

Don't think of this as a setback, but rather, a learning experience! Feeling agitated after too much coffee is totally NORMAL! Doesn't it make you feel better to see that pattern so clearly? It is totally rational of you to blame the coffee. I experimented a bit with coffee this week myself. I felt more "irritable" and a bit more "fragile" emotionally when I had the caffeine in me. I think the secret is to have a small amount, like one cup, and have it before noon. AP

I did it this morning with drinking more coffee than I do normally. We had a brunch at work and I drank it there after having it at home. OF course, I felt awful within 20 minutes of it! Hang in there and jump back on the horse!
