does anyone ever feel anxious after too many caffeinated drinks?

i’ve never really given it much thought to be honest…hmmmm maybe i should try decaff for a couple of months and see how i feel. xxx
I’ve drank ten cups of coffee a day for over forty years. I finally decided it would be simpler, easier, and cheaper to take caffeine pills. I take two 200 mg pills a day. My addiction to caffeine now might be psychological.
I think most people do that’s why decaf was invented. Although for tea most people swear by green tea for pretty much no negative effects of caffeine but keeps all the positives.
Juice the last frontier.
I drink so much caffeine its hard to sleep at night. Its an issue I need to iron out.
I do get a little more anxious but I need them to function. Im on a handful of sedatives, literally like two handfuls a day and one pill in the late afternoon. Chase it down with a beer and whoa I sleep hard, lol
For years I was fine with coffee. Recently since the panic attacks have been happening, I can’t have even one cup of coffee because it will give me a panic attack. So I switched to decaf. Recently I’ve been feeling anxious again and I wonder if it’s the decaf. It still has a small amount of caffeine in it and I drink it by the bucket loads. It’s funny I can drink soda or iced tea and not have a problem, but coffee does me in. I’m sad too because my mom just bought Pumpkin Spice coffee which is my favorite. I did sneak a cup the other day and just took a Klonopin. 
I love the energy caffeine gives me im super sensitive to it and love the buzz ive given up drugs alcohol and cigarettes now just cant kick the caffeine.
I don’t know if it’s anxious, but I do get silly and hyper and pondering and my mind does race a bit.
I try to curb my coffee intake, but I hate to admit, I like the bubbling, itchy brain feeling I get from too much coffee.
I’ve been finding that with less cigarettes, coffee hits me faster.
I like caffeine but I can’t argue against how much less the anxiety and delusions are for me off of it.
I drink 3-4 mugs of coffee a day,sometimes 6 if I also have a pot of ground coffee. I am not sure it increases my anxiety. I do get very anxious but as shown on another thread I am a worrier. Hard to tell if going from decaff to non decaff several years ago has worsened it.
I suppose going on decaff for a while would tell me.
