I need coffee with seroquel. However, when I was taking geodon and another time taking Latuda, I could NOT drink it.

I started to mix De-caff with regular coffee . I'd buy small cans of each and mix them .

I did that for a couple of weeks.
Then I went to straight de-caff.

I make a small pot every morning and drink 2 small mugs.

I love sitting out side and having my morning coffee and the de-caff is working, my blood pressure and anxiety are down a bit

Unless forced to give it up for health reasons , I want my morning coffee !
:)

I drink Tea for my caffeine fix; after going off Red Bull due to its sugar content; but drink Chamomile Tea when I'm anxious or have to go to bed.

I've been drinking one cup of coffee in the morning, then I drink decaf and tea throughout the day ( with water in between).

Like you, I love caffeine, so I binge on Sundays which is not the best idea. If you enjoy it on weekends too, perhaps those 1/2 decaf 1/2 regular mixes will be good.

(No Dunkin Donuts Decaf, it has no taste to )

I love coffee too and switched over totally to decaf when I got pregnant. I don't even miss the caffeine at all. I just like the taste of coffee. Caffeine never seemed to bother me (and I drank 1/2 pot of high test every day for years) but I do notice I sleep much better at night now. But I've also cut out the colas and teas and everything and I think I just have pregnancy fatigue in general.

I need coffee to wake up as well... I have 2 cups when I get up and that's it... I buy decaff cola and don't have caffeine other then my 2 cups... It can make a big difference for sure with some people and anxiety Red... I hope it helps...xo

I can have it, but a limited amount, or else it makes me pretty anxious.

For me I've found out that if I keep myself hydrated while also drinking something with caffeine (ie. drinking water along with caffeinated drink) helps reduce the anxiety. I read somewhere that sometimes in woman, dehydration can contribute to anxiety.

I need the caffeine or else I can't wake up in the morning--am too sedated from my medication! 3 ladylike cups each morning

Damned if I do and damned if I don't!

Largely no for me. I've never had a cup of coffee in my life, and don't plan....it tastes disgusting. I'm a hot tea drinker and I usually mix my Earl Grey 1/2 caf and 1/2 decaf. I don't drink carbonated soda during the day, just 1 glass of Ice tea from McDonalds and that' my only caffiene during the day.

I used to drink tea with caffeine (black tea) in the morning years ago but realized that the caffeine was making my anxiety WAY worse. Now, I have my ginger and lemon tea with my hubby and his coffee. I have no interest in introducing caffeine back into my life -- it was just one big problem.

Man everyone loves coffee! I love soda. But I have had to cut down to one diet soda a day to keep losing weight. I drink it in the morning at work to wake me up since I am always still tired from taking Benadryl to sleep at night.. I love that burn it gives me when I take a big drink. But I will have to stop drinking it when I get weight surgery. Otherwise I dont think it affects my anxiety at all.

I get grumpy without coffee and really need that first one in the morning. I have one regular one in the morning and about 3 espresso's during the day. My hands shake but I have to have it.

One cup a day is good for me. Helps my brain function and takes the edge off my add since I rarely do stimulants. But I'm someone who needs that boost. Some folks really do need to cut it out. Hope you don't need to lose all of it...yet I've been caffeine free and felt fine after an adjustment period. Best Reds.
