Coffee/Anxiety

[uk23]

I know there is an obvious link between caffeine and anxiety but does anyone find here that when they dont eat they are more anxious with a coffee?

I got up this morning, had a large coffee then had some food 20 mins later. Since they I have had an off balance sort of feeling.

Anyone else experience this?

I can't do coffee at all, or normal tea - I have to have decaf tea. But, when I did have it my reaction was worse on an empty stomach. Even decaf coffee makes me bad, goes right through me, if you know what I mean! Sorry if tmi...

I wish coffee had that effect on me!

Wow, this is spooky, my first post here apart from introductions, only the other day I went into macy dees and had thier breakfast, (short on time and all that) and had one of their coffees and I felt realy bad for most of the day, I have coffee at home sometimes but I drink the wifes Decafe and I have no problems with that.

Steer clear of Coffee!

I'm guessing caffeine goes into the system more quickly on an empty stomach. Same reason you get a nicotine rush if you smoke on an empty stomach (I am assuming...)
