I want to ask a question about coffee.
I suffer with anxiety and depression and am now on lexapro 10mg which is brilliant. I was taking 60mg celexa before and have suffered for around 2 years.
My question is this.
If I drink one single cup of coffee I start to sweat HEAVILY and I get tremors which last maybe 2 hours, longer if I have 2 cups of coffee.
Is this really anxiety? I thought caffeine affected Nor-adrenaline and dopamine. Why am I now so sensitive to coffee and why does this happen when I am feeling perfectly ok?
I also take trazodone at night which I have noticed reduces this problem. Before taking trazodone, I could not drink ONE cup of coffee without nearling "losing it" because of the tremors and sweating (almost like Parkinsonian-type symptoms).
Is this anxiety or should I go back to my doctors?
Thanks
