Hi, Yeah I didnt know till recently, from my doctor that these things can set of high adrenaline levels, to cause panic anxiety.

Feel free to PM me, if you want to talk.

Keep focused, keep positive.

I know what you mean Kimmy - the meds that I take for my menstrual cramps have caffeine in them as well and I really can feel the effect of it. I guess we need to read the labels more carefully!! :D

I took Beechams once and panic'd - maybe it was the caffeine then lol.

Now I know.

Night Nurse is ok with me though.
