I have been drinking high amounts of caffeine for as long as I can remember. I have had a few times where I stopped drinking it for a few weeks, but I always go back to it. I guess it is somewhat of an addiction. I get caffeine through Diet Mountain Dew. Each serving has about 55mg of caffeine and I go through an enitre two liter a day, and many times more than that. It makes my stomach feel like acid is churning inside, I feel nauseous and I'm so jittery and nervous that it overwhelms me. Two times I even saw rainbow specks floating in circles mid-air, not sure if it was because of the caffeine, but it was very odd to hallucinate something like that.
What I am wondering is could all this social anxiety I experience be induced from the high amount of caffeine I have each day? I stopped drinking caffeine last thursday and the day after I had a splitting headache from withdrawal. I made it through the day without drinking anymore. And I haven't drank any since and I get to sleep on time and wake up on time and I even have stuck to my daily routine that I always promise I'll do but never do. I feel like I'm all of a sudden anxiety free. I know I must have some sort of social anxiety without caffeine, but now I wonder if it's as bad as I thought.
