Anxiety meds n caffeine

[heather27]

Has any one heard about if your on meds for anxiety n you have caffeine it can make u feel worse it's just I've laid off coffee for months now but not sure if it's true

Caffeine in general is terrible if you already have anxiety so I could see this being true. I've completely stayed away for over a year now

If you can stay away from caffeine then good, even if not for the medication issue. It is a stimulant, not helping in the calming situation you want to be in. The only reason people say they dont like decaf coffee for example is not because it is such a hugely diferent taste - it is because they have become addicted to caffeine. The simple fact is that caffeine is a drug, a highly addictive drug. Decaf coffee is just as good - with fewer health issues.

I'm currently trying to quit drinking pop(I'm a mtn dew addict)lol but sence my anxiety has gotten so bad ive been trying to lay off of it.I take klonopin too just take a little piece of a 5 when I need it, ive been on it for about 4 months now and it only helps for a minute but after it wears off my anxiety is 10x worse.I worry about my head and eyes a lot.I'm always thinking I have a tumour or something,I have constant pressure only on the right side of my head,it really scares me alot, ive had 2 cat scans done and both came back normal but I have a hard time believing it. Do y'all think if I had a tumour a cat scan would show it?this terrifies me!I just want to feel relieved and comfortable but it seems impossible I'm constantly thinking about it.anybody have any opinions?
