in the morning when you wake up is withdrawl, then you get your fix and what you feel is normal. I know, I know I don't buy that either. I like caffeine too.

my enemy.

As someone with panic/anxiety issues, I can't tolerate it. Sometimes even decaf (which is really only about 97% caffeine-free) does bad things.

One time a Dunkin Donuts doofus gave me the regular stuff by accident (or maybe on purpose if there was no decaf and the person didn't want to bother making more). It was horrible. Panic attack like you wouldn't believe, and I ended up ripping out a bunch of my own hair.

That happened to me at Whole Foods. I don't know why I tolerated caffeine today. I should be very careful around it.
