Well hello everyone.. I am posting to say that I am very bad with panic and anxiety 24/7 ever since I quit caffeine.. I am very very scared as I have never suffered panic and anxiety before... It's been 36 days since I had caffeine and I am still in bad shape.. I refuse to take any meds.. I would appreciate any help on getting through this:(..thanks in advance.. It only seems to come down at night.. I have a load of other symptoms as well but docs say I'm in perfect health.. I know it's caffeine we i just pray it lifts soon.. Also I have a 7 month old baby and I think hormones may be at play as well but im still breastfeeding.. I also came off benzodiazepines about 2 years ago after I was accidentally put on them following the death of my dad.. Long story.. I think my body may still just be so sensitive from the withdrawl.. I was in perfect health till I stopped the caffeine:(.. Please don't tell me I need pills cause that adds to my anxiety .. Thanks again

Welcome lianysmami.

Curious as to why you stopped drinking coffee. Maybe try tea instead or half caff or even decaf.

I stopped drinking caffeine because I was drinking excess amounts of pepsi a day like 7 cans and eating tons of sugar and chocolate.. I went on weight watchers and quit.. I tried to go back on but I had a huge panic attack and my hubby called the paramedics.. I had no idea caffeine was so bad:((.. Now I'm suffering with anxiety everyday.. I hope it goes away as I never had it before :(
