My mood intensifies and I loose all concentration if I have caffeine. I stay clear of energy drinks and have read a lot of reports on there negative impact on mental health possibly as it raises the heart rate initiating symptoms of anxiety.

I have palpitations and feelings of euphoria and "coming down"when I drink caffeine, this can be in coffee or cola drinks. I have avoided caffeine for a couple of years now and noticed a massive difference.

I think your psychiatrist needs to do some more reading tbh!!

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H
