I ordered a starbucks today and I always ask for decaf and without thinking I didnt bother to check the cup after I ordered. Sure enough the worker forgot to put decaf on the cup. I'm now shaking and my anxiety is through the roof after having half a cup of an americano. How long will this last?

AK,

Sorry this happened.:/

Make sure you dont have an empty stomach...IOW eat something to help absorb the caffeine...and if possible, get moving. Some exercise should help burn it off quickly.

Besides this, how is everything going? Are you settling into your new home and job?

+1 for SC's advice. I go for walks and try to burn it off. Focus on deep breathing and realize it is just from caffeine.
