I gave up caffeine about 6 months ago now, and did it because I’ve had persistent anxiety since I was a teenager and was desperate for something to help. I had been drinking about 6 cups a day, which was a bit cultural, but also just way too much caffeine.

When I came off of it, I stopped having anxiety attacks and had a huge reduction in anxiety. To the point where I think most of my anxiety throughout my life has been due to caffeine intake.

Just something to keep in mind if you in general are a high key person and tend to drink a lot of coffee.

Per my experience, L-Theanine really helped to counter anxiety, I rarely take caffeine alone without L-Theanine nowadays.
