I too had read about caffiene being one of the causes to trigger anxiety and I totally stopped drinking it after that, other than eating the occasional chocolate as you may or may not know contains caffeine. Anyhow, I totally did realize the connection as when I did drink it I did feel much more anxious and this is one of the things that can throw one into an anxiety attack. I did have the occasional diet coke with caffiene with decaf was not available and seemed to be okay. After about a year of "avoiding" it I started to drink a cup of coffee here and there and have no issues. Of course I have been on medication for about 3 years (Prozac, 20 mg a day) and have had some great counseling. I also exercise as that is an excellent way in assisting (fighting) anxiety. I hope this helped some! Good luck to you!
