Yep! If you have enough of it and your prone to anxiety it can!! So can alcohol and certain foods. Nice huh?

Wow. I had one a few years ago, but I thought it came from smoking to much weed so I quit; this one came outta nowhere.

I've heard of weed causing anxiety too! It usually has a calming affect, but it can also do the opposite. Why don't you go to your dr. and tell him your having anxiety. They will give you a med. I take xanax..but ONLY if I am really bad, like today. And I only take a quarter of the med or half of it. It is enough to take the edge off so you can function properly. Chamomile tea and Valerian root work good too.
Good Luck Buddy! xxoo

It really depends on the person.

For me - YES caffeine is a HUGE trigger.

Just this past Monday I was at Starbucks with my mom and by the time we had finished our drinks just before we left I got a horrifying panic attack- luckily it lasted less than 30 seconds and she was there to help me through it, but for the next couple of hours afterwards I felt REALLY weak and tired.

The plan for me now is to stop the coffee! It definitely can be a trigger

Right on. Feeling kinda chill now, but meds, do they really work?

caffeine can cause jitters - thereby causing you to feel ill and anxious. The heart palpitations, shaky hands, and feeling of apprehension is the same as feeling anxious. I do not feel it CAUSES anxiety, but that the symptoms are similar and therefore anxiety is felt. I wouldn't stress, but cut out the caffeine, or make sure that you eat properly before having caffeine so that your system can handle the jolt.
This goes for sugar as well.

Weed... can also cause you to feel anxious. Don't worry :) just cut it out if you don't like the feeling. This reaction is not pathologic or unique. Most pot-heads don't notice the anxiety or don't tell anyone, but you aren't alone.

I react to caffeine, sugar, and weed. So I avoid or use them in moderation. Its all good.

o yeah, don't bother with meds if you can isolate the source and you can eliminate it. Why would you fill your body with medication when you can eliminate the original drug (caffeine is a drug, but this also goes for the pot). Many people cannot eat wheat (celiac), so maybe you just can't have caffeine.

I hear that about caffeine but I am not so sure. For myself I feel so anxious when I am going through a bad time that I have too much energy and coffee would just make it worse. Other times I am just dragging in the morning and really need coffee. Actually I feel much healthier when I feel I need coffee because then I know I am not going through a panic attack!

Something I have noticed though is that I just can't drink alcohol like I used to. Even two cocktails is too much for me a lot of times. I don't know if it's just getting older, I'm only 39 but still!

are you using any drugs robinard? I know they tell you not to drink.. it affected me by either getting me drunk fast, or not drunk at all. Now that I am off all drugs, I'm having to re-learn my limits.
And age does have an affect sadly :(

As our chemical levels change, our ability to adjust to the different methods of recreational items such as alcohol, drugs, becomes less than it was in our youth.
I have had anxiety attacks when I have not changed anything, it was a sound that set it off, and when I think of it, I go get a glass of water, that helps reduce the shakiness, wrung out feelings.
Hope you feel better today!
