I had pretty much the same symptoms as this guy with zero meditation, just caffeine overdose. When I stopped drinking coffee and tea all symptoms, including dread and feeling that something is very wrong, muscle twitching and other odd feelings went away.

And I didn't even drink that much by coffee drinkers standards.

I found it strange him mentioning drinking coffee in the retreat, especially in the morning after experiencing strong dissociation. In general I would have thought they'd skip the coffee.
Switched to decaf for the same reason.
Me too. Can now drink even 6 cups of decaf daily with no problems. And it tastes exactly as good.
