Just a question really but does anyone think that drinking to much coffee/coke could make someone who suffers from anxiety worse!!

My partner suffers with G.A.D and I have told him to cut all caffeine out for a week and see what happens.

funny you should ask that kim,here we go father goose is off on one :roll:

when i was working i toted up my caffeine intake and my average over each week was 17 cups a day.

when i had my breakdown i cut it out completely and it did help a lot as you dont get shaky so much.

now i just drink tea,about 6 cups a day.
I cant stand the smell of coffee now.
my wife has always drunk tea and said coffee breath is horrid.

It will make a massive difference if he cuts down :wink:

i found that it gave me a headache when i didnt get a cup of coffee which obviously is the addiction side and when i was diagnosed i was given a list of things to cut out of my diet and coffee was one! i never thought i would do it but changed to tea for quite a while now i just have a couple of cups a day and i dont get the headachy feeling i used to get when i was needing a cup!!

my god what do i sound like

*stands up* im pinklady and i used to have a caffeine addiction

i very rarely have coffee for the slight reason when i do i feel quite strange - like i,m hyper if u know what i mean :? it will be much better if your partner cuts it out for a while if not for good

Does that mean we cant got out for coffee then?

I dont like coffee but i adore cappachino excuse my rubbish spelling. I used to get headaches too if i needed a cup. Even tea can be quite addictive. They say if u cut down ull see less celulite i havent yet anyway i think thats if u drunk 40 cups a day :lol:
