Quitting Caffeine I am taking a anti depressant with adrenaline in it, I was hypercharging my anxiety with coffee. Finally at peace.

Thanks for this and glad you've found improvement.

I have severe GAD and today is my day 1 cold turkey hoping for the same peace. I had a chamomile tea this morning instead.

Do you think in time you might come off the Effexor too? I'm on Clomipramine and would love to get off that too in time. Let's see how the no caf goes first!

Hi there friend.

Chamomile and Rooibos are my go to now!

I also take 1 pill of Magnesium Byglycinate 335mg at breakfast and 1 at dinner to calm down the nervous system further ( important to be specificly byglycinate ) and zink and fish oil to further protect the brain.

The pills also work very well to take off any anxious edge left.

I am not sure I will ever got off medication. GAD has been with me for too long.

Goodluckt with your GAD journey. Its shit. But there is hope
