Caffeine

My body has gotten to the point where it absolutely rejects caffeine and it will almost always throw me into am anxiety attack. I can't even have a cup of green tea, or a half can of diet soda! I miss the good ole days when I could have a cup of coffee in the morning! After I kick these benzo's will my body be able to handle caffeine again? I guess each person is different, but it sucks not being able to have one drop of caffeine at all!

Hi,

 

I could not tolerate caffeine during my taper what-so-ever.  It would make my heart RACE, and anxiety soar.  However, I have now been off for 2 months almost and I can now drink one cup in the morning without any ill effects.  I cannot drink more than that though.

I used to drink at least 44 oz. per day of brewed iced tea...orange pekoe or black...UNTIL tapering off benzos. No more caffeine in my foreseeable future. It did me the same as Mark22. I sure miss it though. I cannot even tolerate non-caffeinated teas or coffee
