Decaf ?

[dave11282]

Hi all

I know subject of caffeine has been thrashed out a lot already, but
I was curious if anyone has had problems with Decaf (coffee mainly, I drink decaf tea ok)

I went decaf tea recently & feel a lot better (reduced sweating too, I also have hyperhidrosis), but coffee has always been a real threat to me, ordinary coffee can trigger full blown panic attacks in me.

A popular brand of decaf coffee on their website says it is decaffeinated to 0.3%. And decaffeinated using the safest method of water filtration.

My question is, is there something specific to coffee, another ingredient that can trigger anxiety ? (apart from caffeine)

Has anyone had problems with decaf coffee and anxiety?

thanks

Dave

No porblesm, but depending on how much ordinary coffee you used to drink, you will get caffeinr withdrawal for some time that feels like/can trigger anxiety

Decaf = decaffeinated


Yep, coke, cola, is also a huge no go for me, can give me major anxiety, border line panic.

I noticed that this brand of coffee states that it is decaffeinated to 0.3 %

so I guess at such a low level it has no effect on us.

I will give it a try

thanks for replies
