sorry mods i deleted this post out of the DS as i thought it may be better here
Ive just discovered lately when i dont drink alot of caffeine my anxiety including tremors settles down.
the guidelines on the interent say not to drink more than 250mg a day. that's only 2.5 cups of coffee of regualar coffee (not strong cappuccino like u buy when ya out) .
now alot of ppl smoke (i havnt had one for a while because im quitting) & coffee goes hand in hand. but id just like to warn ppl that to much coffee maybe what's causing u ppl here a bit more anxiety on top of what u already have. Coffee causes dehydration, remember that too.
I was drinking 4 cups a day. Ive only drank 2 today in the morning & i feel alot more calmer. my shaking & tremors have reduced.
Remember caffeine stays in ya system for 12 hrs so dont drink energy drinks of coffee after 3:00pm & insomnia should decrease. I'm serious caffeine can be quite strong at stopping ya from going to sleep. At a point it's not like it wakes ya up. its more like it just stop ya from easily getting to sleep
Another thing. Make sure put the coffee on the tea spoon so its level not over otherwise u'll be going over 100mg. You could also try swapping to tea which only has 50mg if u NEED more after 2 cups. but 2 strong cups of coffee is already hitting the max dose u should in a day. You should try to aim to at most 200mg if ya susceptible to anxiety
Im cutting down from 400mg of caffeine to the max recommended 250mg as of tomorrow. Ive had 2 cups of coffee today & i might have a cup of tea now.
So im going to do an experiment starting tomorrow where i only drink 2 cups of coffee just in the morning & see if i feel more settled.
I hope this helps ppl suffering from anxiety. Try to cut back the smokes top. u'll notice the less anxious u are the less u'll smoke anyway & smoking adds to ya anxiety.
ppl forget about caffeine cuz its legal & must be safe. But i feel alot calmer today cuz i havnt drank to much coffee & wanted to share my experience for other ppl who are sensitive to anxiety.
anyways ive had 150mg valium, 400mg codeine & 380mg of dhc so im doing alright.
(dont make any comments about this. I feel fine. i have a tolerance to benzos & opiates. I was actually more effected by drinking 4 strong cups of coffee yesterday.
This is just a reminder. ppl who suffer from anxiety have probably realized the coffee doesnt help but may have forgotten that. Im just trying to help. try cutting down to enough that u dont get a w/d. & it genially makes ya feel alot calmer. Just give it a try.
NO MORE THAN 250MG MAX. 5 tea bags. 2 strong coffees. of 3 fairly weak coffees. & be careful about energy drinks. ive seen some that have almost 200mg in one can. way to much.
heres some info for ya u might not know. i once read in a book at the library. Beleive it or not children often have more caffeine in the system than adults. Because the're alot smaller. a can of coke which contains 50mg would be like an adult drinking 200mg or more of caffeine because we weigh over 4 times than they would. They like chocolate to us it's a tiny amount of caffeine but to them it would be like drinking 1-2 cups of coffee if they eat enough. Might explain why kids are so hyperactive. Infact a study showed that generally kids have more caffeine in there body than what adults do. hard to believe ah.

Anyway, after a day or 2 feeling pretty bad I had less anxiety in the morning and my stomach was much more settled. After a few months I started to drink 1 (max 2) cup of fairly weak coffee a day and a few cups of tea. Since then my stomach issues have subsided mostly, except in times of bad anxiety, and my morning anxiety went way down.![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
