How much caffiene do you consume? I had just been prescribed a script for an ssri for generalised anxiety, was scared of the side effects, decided to try cutting out coffee instead.

Anxiety gone.

I was only having 2-3 filter cups a day, probably less mg than a single large energy drink but that was enough.

How much time did it take since you completely cut off caffeine for the anxiety to settle down ?

Coffee is also a temporary antidepressant, so I personally couldn't cut that.
