Barto,

You know, I believe that caffeine excarbates my symptoms of anxiety and since I am treating my anxiety with meds, that it is mad to also consume a stimulant which counter acts the meds.

The Mormons have classified it as a drug for a long time.

I have been on the psych ward twice, once in 1993 and again last October, both times,
caffeine was withheld. The first time I got such a bad headache from withdrawal that the pdoc wrote me a script to be served two cups of coffee a day. In October it didn't bother me at all since I prefer and try to be caffeine free for several years now, allowing the occasional Dr. Pepper or chocolate anytime. I do wryly note, that yes, caffeine was witheld last time but I chuckled that they still served chocolate. oops. But anyway, I no longer have any withdrawal symptoms and am as well off or better without any at all.

LW
