I don´t know why. I used to drink 3 cups of coffee a day. Before meds and on meds. At least on higher doses. But ever since i was put on a low dose i can´t drink more than 1 strong coffee any more. If i drink a second or a third coffee an hour later after i drink it i get anxiety and sometimes paranoia. I also feel lightheaded and i feel a little sick and nauseous. Not that serious but very annoying.

I like a bit stronger coffee i put 2 full tea spoons of coffee in a water. I usually drink with my gf so i put 3 full tea spoons of coffee for 2 cups. If i drink coffee with milk its a bit better but not always. I like to drink coffee every 2 hours or so. Now i wait longer. Im fine after first cup but after second as i have said i get anxiety and paranoia. I can drink 2 cups of coffee but i have to wait like 5 hours between them.

Anyone else has a similar problem? What do you think about his?

I also had to reduce my coffee intake, but it’s good to do it. Coffee can seriously mess with your nervous system.

My klonopin kind of balances it out. Still can’t drink much. I can replace the word coffee with weed in your op and it’d make sense

I had to give up coffee because it gave me anxiety and paranoia. Occasionally I can drink one but that’s it. I used to drink much more but can no longer tolerate it. Some people are sensitive to caffeine.

I now drink between one and 3 cups a day. It varies. But each cup is just 1 teaspoon of instant coffee.

I used to drink strong espressos, but it made things much much worse, so I had to cut back.
