IS IT OK TO ONCE AN AWHILE TO HAVE SOME CAFFIENE?

It depends on how you react to it.

I have not given up my coffee and soda...but would never do an energy drink...

...others have had to give up all caffeine to manage their anxiety.

You may just need to see where your personal limits are.;)

For me personally I am trying to cut mine down a LOT. I was a multiple mountain dews a day person, and I've cut to 1 or 2 caffeinated drinks a day. I was in the hospital for a ton of tests (typical hypochondriac move) and had no caffeine at all that day, or most of the next. I started getting a nasty headache so I had a mountain dew to help. That was when I noticed that caffeine was a massive trigger for my anxiety because I didn't feel too bad that day. I'm no expert, but just know your body and minimize the caffeine intake as much as possible. It seems to be working for me.

Try doing without it for 7 days, check yourself out as to pro's and con's, Then let yourself have one
coffee and see how you feel.
I can drink a pot of coffee and it will not bother me, but for some people its an anxiety trigger. Peace

I quit caffeine over 12 yEars ago. Now when there is nothing else available I can absolutely tell that my anxiety is higher. For some people they can't live without it. Quitting the caffeine was a whole lot easier than the smoking. ( I'm down to little less than half a pack a day )
