Quit back in November...near the end of December and all the sudden, drinking coffee just gives me some serious anxious energy. It's awful. Hard to concentrate, really fidgety, feel tense. It eventually fades but what the hell? I've never experienced this before. I'd be devastated to have to stop drinking coffee.
Anyone else have this happen?
Never. You should get your heart checked.

Yes. I switched to decaf a while ago. That and caffeine free tea. I only drink caffeinated coffee once in a blue moon when I'm super tired.
I have always been fairly sensitive to caffeine but definitely found it has gotten worse.
There are more factors at play, like I associate smoking and coffee plus I have anxiety issues plus I tend to not eat breakfast so I'm always drink coffee on an empty stomach, but overall I've noticed that when I drink coffee nowadays, I have to be very careful.
I've been nicotine free for a couple months now? I think I posted in this thread about it.

I quit back in November, too. I get the shakes and all panicky after my morning coffee as well, but I’m almost certain that just coincides with the start of my work day

Super necro bump, but with the not only expense of cigarettes, but the health benefits of quitting.
(I've knocked my blood pressure way down to 127-67, dropped about 30 pounds, gone from pre-diabetic to not as I've knocked my cholesterol and blood suger down.
Anyways, I'm not sure I'm looking for advice, I mean there's only so much you can do if you don't want to use stop smoking aids. Chew tictaks, punch the wall, go for a walk and yell at teenagers.
Nope, I'm just going to try to power through the next three days of awful, and then the days after of more awful.
But I wanted to kinda document it in video clips, (not of me, god no). but of video clips of what I'm feeling as I go through this factory.
So Day 1 hour 15
People driving by my house

I quit cold turkey exactly 1 year and 11 months ago.
What made me quit? My relative was diagnosed with lung cancer from yeah you guessed it, smoking his whole life.
I started developing a bit of a cough for a while and always wanted to stop but that was definitely a trigger.
Good luck and keep at it. It feels so refreshing not searching for every excuse to have a cigarette.
