I've had very little caffeine over the past few years because I used to be sensitive to it and it stirred my anxiety. It's doesn't create anxiety for me now, but I have randomly been feeling anxiety over the past month and the odd time I have a coffee, it goes away. I think it's my body expressing a caffeine addiction because the anxiety is similar to when I stopped taking painkillers, and I haven't felt anxiety like that from subs since my first run of AM.
I've got similar issues with caffeine. Or maybe it's coffee. I switched to decaf and it still messed with my anxiety. My experience is the longer I stay away from it, the more my body has recovered to tolerate it. But prolonged use slowly breaks me down. My body just doesn't like it. Which is a bummer because I actually like the taste of coffee more than the caffeine effects. Anyway it's very possible the coffee is causing the anxiety, some people just don't tolerate it well.
