This is so helpful. As a clinical psychologist I've always asked clients with anxiety about their caffeine consumption but until now didn't really understand the biochemical reasons behind caffeine causing anxiety. Thank you for the explanation about the genetic weakness especially.
Another cause for anxiety and depression that I can testify to is because of unstable blood sugars stabalising my blood sugars was a game changer for me
I love coffee but it gives me anxiety. And I wonder why I keep getting these unrealistic thoughts. It's the sudden increase in heart rate, especially when you're an adult with responsibilities. It does not help. But I have found that tea has the opposite effect, It calms you down.
@@TheAcdcnz Obviously, But it's soothing. I don't think it's the caffeine in general that triggers my anxiety. It's definitely the subtances in coffee.
I thought it was all in my mind. Whenever I drink my coffee or green tea I feel anxious and it gets worse when I’m alone esp at night. Thank you so much for explaining. Goodbye coffee and tea 😔
Comedy_ultimate fyp good to know that! For me green tea has lesser effect but drinking it 2-3 cups per day has the same effect as 1 cup of coffee. It depends on how the body will react to it.
Try {chamomile tea} its for relaxation also {raspberry tea} and fresh ginger I keep these teas in my house but i also am a coffee drinker and it triggers anxiety so bad that the herbal teas i mentioned above would benefit me more if i can just get away from tht coffee. I drank both. And the caffeine is outwaying the good teas i drank everyday.
Ive just started having panic attacks, and dropped my coffee consumption to help manage it. But, i had a cup to relieve withdrawal symptoms and suffered the worst anxiety attack to date. Im definitely quitting coffee now.
Every panick attack for me started with coffee or energy drinks. If you need your caffeine. Sip on hot green tea. It does have lower caffeine also it has L Theanine. It has calming effects. It helped me to function and to kick the headaches
I’ve known that I’m sensitive to caffeine and I worked on trying to figure out what my threshold is but now with the pandemic, being a parent and grad student it’s become too much for my body to handle. I had to drink water and just calm myself the best I can while the caffeine works it’s out of my system. Today is my last day with drinking caffeine. I just hope it helps with my panic attacks 😔
I think staying away from caffeine is a good idea in this case. Maybe try Wim Hof breathing or guided meditation by someone else online, that might help.
@@unfortunato oh I’m definitely staying away from caffeine I might drink the occasional decaf but I’m trying to not drink anymore caffeine. Breathing and mediation helps me a lot ☺️.
@@missyo4519 how have you been? Every panic attack started with drinking coffee or energy drinks for me....now I sip on green tea and it seems to help. It has caffeine but it also has minerals that relax you.
@@jackwhite4091 I still drink lots of water, and various teas. I’ve been staying away from caffeine for awhile now and it seems to help. I’m on anxiety meds to help as well too it wasn’t just the caffeine that caused my anxiety
It has helped mine to stop . I haven’t had any coffee in two or three weeks and I feel like a new human again. No anxiety at all ... and definitely no panic attacks . I think we are those rare people who cannot handle caffeine at all.
Today was the first day I didn’t experiences anxiety attack or fast heart rate just by skipping coffee intake . Now I see there’s a scientific reason behind it .
@Jennell Same here. I drank a lot of coffee back then and a year ago I started developing panic attacks and anxiety even after I stop drinking it. It’s gotten better but you definitely don’t feel the same
Over the last two year's I've noticed drinking coffee fuels my anxiety. I love coffee though, I had to switch to drinking 1 caffeinated coffee in the morning and decaf for the rest of the day. Decaf might not be 100% free of caffeine but it works for me.
I like to say I don't drink coffee to wake up, I wake up to drink coffee. I've been feeling bad for a long time and at a point I'm willing to do almost anything to feel better except take drugs. I'm getting help through the VA and am making some major dietary and supplement changes and really believe it will work. I've been doing everything wrong and can see how those things have led to depression and anxiety. Thanks for sharing this information.
THANK YOU for explaining this. I couldn't take it anymore and realized coffee was a problem. I switched to green tea and make it bulletproof with grass fed butter and a little raw honey.
I had a sudden caffeine intolerance start years ago. Actually all stimulants even medications. I am at a total loss. No test exist to help answer why?? I over did stimulants for my case.. and prob caused this to my self. I never recovered. -got normal. Its really messed my life up.
Thank you for the very insightful video. I had assumed that my recent anxiety has been triggered by my morning coffee, but now I understand the mechanisms behind it (besides just caffeine). Thanks again. Very helpful
I love coffee im a barista. covid 19 anxiety brought on heart palpitations which were worsened by drinking coffee so im forced to stop for now! very frustrating!
I'm 42, and it seemed when I hit about 40,41 I started experiencing these terrible panic attacks. I been driving for 20 years no problem and all of a sudden the panic attacks would trigger uncontrollable when I drive, especially on the highways,I would experience very bad hyperventilation,heart racing very fast,feel like I can't breath and like I'm choking on my tongue. I was drinking about 2 cups of coffee for years every day. I stopped drinking coffee but I never been the same. I started taking magnesium and super vitamin b complex and I started getting alot better,I still get panic attacks but not as bad and I can drive alot better. Do you think coffee played a role in this?
Coffee can play a role. Diet, gut health and other deficiencies can lead to panic attacks as well. Let me know if you want a more comprehensive approach to resolving this.
@@michaelswonderfulworld hi how's it going, yes I got under control, I been driving basically normal again,I'm driving back on highways. It took me awhile to get it under control, especially because I did everything on my own, I joined a mentorship on Facebook that helped me a lot, I did cut caffeine out, I also learned anxiety,panic attacks come from to much cortisol built up in your body from stress, you gotta desensitize your nervous system. I take magnesium citrate. I got my panic attacks under control. I try to approach negative situations differently then getting angry and upset all the time.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Hello again, Dr. Sinclair. I'm trying to explain this to people I meet. Is adenosine only secreted at night for sleep? Or is it secreted in response to stress? Is secreted the right word to use? Thank you!
Really interesting information, thank you! Just plan your caffeine quitting carefully and ensure you have time, space, and support around you - the withdrawal symptoms can be quite significant, in my case: upset digestion, extreme fatigue, depression and - ironically - increased anxiety.
It's definitely a informative video, I just really wish your audio quality was better! It's really a shame since your explanations were quite good to listen to.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Oh that's really nice to hear! This was actually the first video I watched from you since I was interested in the topic. I can totally understand that it takes a bit to get used to making videos :p
Maybe because black tea is already full of tein / caffeine so you are already running on a high on a dailu basis... and if you combine that with occasional coffee too it is that 'last drop' in your body... in your bodily organs it creates an overdose.. and it seems it was that one dose or two dose of coffee but there is something already underneath the waters... :)
I used to be able to drink coffee in my late teens to early twenties. After college it started to make me anxious and I found it cramped my stomach. Eating before drinking coffee helped. But I just stopped cold turkey because I didn’t like how it made me anxious all of a sudden. I miss the taste and smell though it reminds me of home and my parents.

Great video, Dr Janelle! Yes!!! I quit caffeine years ago, as I had chronic fatigue. Then one day I tried a weak, instant coffee and had a panic attack that lasted nearly 6 hours! I've never had it again. It's just not worth it. Hey, I heard people who get jittery with coffee are also more prone to react negatively to the methyl form of B12. Is that true? If so, would that help people choose the right form of B12 for them?
I can understand why you wouldn't want to try coffee again. 😒Yes if you've got the COMT genetic weakness then you have to be very careful with methylating supplements like methyl B12 and methylfolate. I had never thought of asking someone if they tolerate coffee or not. Great idea thanks!
But i dont have anxiety, and coffee still makes me anxious. I drink a lot before working out, it used to be very euphoric, but now it just makes me anxious. I take magnesium supplements (magnesium citrate)
This seems accurate to me, and is made even worse by people the Spanish call "exitados" using caffeine. And exitado would be somebody whose nervous system is dominated by the sympathetic side. That's most people but the minority of the other side, dominated by the parasympathetic NS would not have nearly so many difficulties. But whether you feel the difficulties or not, clearly we are messing with our body chemistry in a significant way.
more than a cup of coffee caffeine make me bad anxiety, not just Mg deficient.Caffeine physiological effect in the brain cause anxious mechanism activity.
Can low mag cause daily tremors that don’t go away I know I have low dopamine I’m a recovering addict and alcoholic sober now with family also have baaad adhd and can’t focus I’m on strattera non stim
@@brettcoyle2399 you might benefit from watching my online webclass or taking my online course. Check them out at www.drjanellesinclair.com/webclass and www.drjanellesinclair.com/ecourse you'll learn about how to fix both of those things
I drank coffee everyday for years. To a point it wouldn’t even make me feel alert or keep me up. I could drink a venti iced coffee and take a nap. This past 3 months I was going through so much stress. One day I drank a double shot espresso and had such a horrible panic attack I thought I was having a heart attack. ( I am in my 20s so highly doubtful) long story short- I am 3 months caffeine free and have had less panic attacks. I also think I have another food related intolerance or allergy related to rapid heart rate after consuming soy or things will tons of vitamins and whey protein. I’m also unable to drink alcohol... last time I did I had the same reaction I did with the caffeine. Interesting. I wish I could drink coffee still and alcohol. I’m hoping I figure out what type of food allergy I have to help. I can barley handle decaf :(
D r Janelle you are so informative we love your videos. Dr i am ssri lexapro and drink coffee 250 mg daily i have major anxiety even on lexapro. iread some where that your should not take cafeine while on ssris since the caffeine lowers serotonin in the brain could this be the reason the lexapro is not working also i stillhave major insomnia, Please answer me if you can God Bless you and your work Rich Legg
im 17 i always drink either juice,coca cola,milk,water or any kids drinks i dont drink coffee but i've been drinking coffees lately just last year and today (i think i drank 7 cups of coffee since last year) ive never felt anxiety before but because of pandemic and im a student that been recently brought down by a bad influencer(my 8grade classmate now my classmate again now i notice shes just clinging to others and just relies on them than self study) (i want to say all the things what makes me nervous but it'll be too long to write im not gonna do that) okay okay long story short i would never going to drink coffee ever again if i havent searched it on google what are unhealthy solutions for anxiety to go away besides my own solution(watching scary things so all my attention goes to fear instead anxiety or anger(idont want to hurt people so thats my way of holding some my emotions)) i would never know it and do a thing to myself sooner or later, so this is very helpful thank you
Honestly I was the same way a while back I quit caffeine and my anxiety was still there. After some therapy and self work I can say I’m able to enjoy my cup of joe in the morning. I honestly don’t think it’s coffee it self on some people. I suggest quit see how you feel and go from there. Best of luck to you
As soon as I drink tea or coffee I start worrying and looking too deep into things its madness sometimes fizzy pop does the same obviously its due to caffeine but I've always been a worrying person with but caffeine really makes me paranoid and I hate it because I love tea and coffee but decaffeinated stuff don't taste the same
The reason why you start worrying more after caffeine its because caffeine not just stimulating nervous system and stress hormones its also stimulating brain activity and amygdala (fear centre). Amygdala is tricky one when gets too activated. People who are prone to anxiety should avoid sugar and caffeine.
Less is better. None is best. 😊 Depends how bad the anxiety is and how sensitive you are to caffeine. My recommendation is to try going without caffeine for 2 weeks and see if your anxiety improves.
I really like that first cup of coffee to start the day but if I ever try a 2nd cup, my mind starts racing and I can’t calm down. Feels like I’m on cocaine or something
Alex Mitchell I’m also curious if it is COFFEE or the CAFFEINE that is most detrimental. Tea has caffeine, so that does that fall in same category as coffee? And decaf still contains a small amount of caffeine. I think there is ~10-15mg of caffeine in an 8oz cup of decaf, but the amount of caffeine depends on the type of bean and how it was processed.
Some fear is good obviously but when it's out of proportion it's a problem. Caffeine can definitely increase feelings of anxiety and fear for some people. It's definitely worth stopping all caffeine for 2 weeks and seeing how you feel.
Hello everyone, before 2018 i was fine and i took too much coffee maybe 5 to 8 big cups of coffee and even before bed time i did not have any side effects and insomnia but after April 2018 i had anxiety after that i can not take even a small cup of coffee makes me feeling horrible and anxious and stress i don’t know why . Also i drink a tea maybe 5 cup to 7 or more i don’t feel anything but i still miss my coffee hope some one has information about it why it happened too me
@@DrJanelleSinclair I was not drinking everyday but I had a cup now and then when I had to work more then normal and I felt tired. But now I want to quit it all together because on those days when I am very tired I get easily anxious. I try to keep my blood sugar up with the friut I can it on the low fodmap diet.
Dr Janelle Sinclair niceee, but can you please tell me if fish oil and weight training with appropriate protein will quash my anxiety? I want to be able to drink more coffee, when I was younger I used to drink lots of it and now I can’t. Not exactly a disability (not being able to drink more coffee but I like the fighting spirit and coffee gives me that) but I tend to get anxious especially since I have to take Adderall for my ADHD (diagnosed and prescribed).
@@sammyboyroute there's lots of different reasons for anxiety. Take a look at my very first video on zinc. It can be very helpful for anxiety and ADHD.
@@DrJanelleSinclair thank you so much for the zinc information, I started taking it and almost completely defeated my anxiety. The fish oil helps a lot and I knew that, but the zinc I didn’t know!! Who would of thought zinc would be this effective, amazing indeed. Say, while we are on the topic of adhd, I had an interesting observation to tell you, whenever I ate high fiber as in psyllium husk or something, I would feel much calmer and me adderall would work much better and I read some research that suggested fiber, microbiome, serotonin connection. What are your thoughts on this issue? Thanks again for the zip information, much appreciated! E:not on any serotonin medication.
Do you love coffee but does coffee NOT love you? Does coffee make your anxiety worse?
Yes it has. I love coffee too. I switched to decaffeinated about 2 months ago and it helped. I am trying to cut out sugar now or at least reduce it .
it does make it worse

Any idea as to why I can drink endless cups of black tea but if I have just one cup of coffee I'm a nervous, anxious mess?
Hi, Chris
There are other stimulating compounds in coffee, not found in black tea, which may be the cause.
Maybe because black tea is already full of tein / caffeine so you are already running on a high on a dailu basis... and if you combine that with occasional coffee too it is that 'last drop' in your body... in your bodily organs it creates an overdose.. and it seems it was that one dose or two dose of coffee but there is something already underneath the waters... :)
Does Tea also cause anxiety? I drink 1 cup a day and I see no immediate effect on anxiety. Some times it relieves mild headaches in fact.
I'm suffering anxiety for almost 5 years but coffee makes me hyper and boost my energy system 🙂
Sources?

But whether you feel the difficulties or not, clearly we are messing with our body chemistry in a significant way.
Can we have green tea ...Is it healthy in depression...

Tremor could be from b12 deficiency or low blood sugars

Can you Drink decaf coffee if you have high blood pressure? Are there any side effects?
I drank coffee everyday for years. To a point it wouldn’t even make me feel alert or keep me up. I could drink a venti iced coffee and take a nap. This past 3 months I was going through so much stress. One day I drank a double shot espresso and had such a horrible panic attack I thought I was having a heart attack. ( I am in my 20s so highly doubtful) long story short- I am 3 months caffeine free and have had less panic attacks. I also think I have another food related intolerance or allergy related to rapid heart rate after consuming soy or things will tons of vitamins and whey protein. I’m also unable to drink alcohol... last time I did I had the same reaction I did with the caffeine. Interesting. I wish I could drink coffee still and alcohol. I’m hoping I figure out what type of food allergy I have to help. I can barley handle decaf :(
Check for histamine intolerance and/or reactions to b vitamins. 👍
why do i do i get nervous every time i drink coffee
Does COMT enzyme activity decrease in the postpartum period?
I have read that COMT activity goes down during pregnancy, but I haven't found anything about postpartum. Any particular reason for your question?
Try lavender tea or termuric tea.
Helpful video but the audio quality and mic sounds make it hard to focus on the information.
D r Janelle you are so informative we love your videos. Dr i am ssri lexapro and drink coffee

How do you feel about these new mushroom coffee’s?
As long as you don't choose one that contains caffeine they're a great alternative.
What if I only drink 1 cup and 3 times a week?
I drink decaf now feel a lot better.😉
It doesn't trigger your anxiety at all?
im 17 i always drink either juice,coca cola,milk,water or any kids drinks i dont drink coffee but i've been drinking coffees lately just last year and today (i think i drank 7 cups of coffee since last year) ive never felt anxiety before but because of pandemic and im a student that been recently brought down by a bad influencer(my 8grade classmate now my classmate again now i notice shes just clinging to others and just relies on them than self study) (i want to say all the things what makes me nervous but it'll be too long to write im not gonna do that) okay okay long story short i would never going to drink coffee ever again if i havent searched it on google what are unhealthy solutions for anxiety to go away besides my own solution(watching scary things so all my attention goes to fear instead anxiety or anger(idont want to hurt people so thats my way of holding some my emotions)) i would never know it and do a thing to myself sooner or later, so this is very helpful thank you
I drink more soda than coffee, and I don’t drink enough water, i’ll go for weeks without water
I’m pretty sure that coffee has become my enemy. Anxiety is very bad in the morning before coffee.
Honestly I was the same way a while back I quit caffeine and my anxiety was still there. After some therapy and self work I can say I’m able to enjoy my cup of joe in the morning. I honestly don’t think it’s coffee it self on some people. I suggest quit see how you feel and go from there. Best of luck to you
I suffer from pretty bad anxiety and today I have the brilliant idea to drink some coffee WORST IDEA EVER
As soon as I drink tea or coffee I start worrying and looking too deep into things its madness sometimes fizzy pop does the same obviously its due to caffeine but I've always been a worrying person with but caffeine really makes me paranoid and I hate it because I love tea and coffee but decaffeinated stuff don't taste the same
I know what I would choose.... You'll get use to the taste 😉
The reason why you start worrying more after caffeine its because caffeine not just stimulating nervous system and stress hormones its also stimulating brain activity and amygdala (fear centre). Amygdala is tricky one when gets too activated. People who are prone to anxiety should avoid sugar and caffeine.
What if you drink less coffee
Less is better. None is best. 😊 Depends how bad the anxiety is and how sensitive you are to caffeine. My recommendation is to try going without caffeine for 2 weeks and see if your anxiety improves.
I'm craving for ice coffee then anxiety hitting me on nights. Neverending thinking.
Check out my video on foods that can cause anxiety. It's likely that both caffeine and sugar are impacting the anxiety. Try decaf coffee
I need to stop drinking coffee. I’m addicted to it and it always causes me stress. I get super jittery and increased heart rate.
Them taps tho!!
I really like that first cup of coffee to start the day but if I ever try a 2nd cup, my mind starts racing and I can’t calm down. Feels like I’m on cocaine or something
How can we stimulate our brains to work for long hours and be productive without drinking coffee ?

Is decaffeinated ok or does it contain small amount of caffeine still?
Alex Mitchell I’m also curious if it is COFFEE or the CAFFEINE that is most detrimental. Tea has caffeine, so that does that fall in same category as coffee? And decaf still contains a small amount of caffeine. I think there is ~10-15mg of caffeine in an 8oz cup of decaf, but the amount of caffeine depends on the type of bean and how it was processed.
@@shannonrunge2080 hello. Ah ok, some small amount of caffeine but reduced. I know tea has about half or a third of what coffee contains.
I believe decaf has a small amount of caffeine. Some people tolerate it while others don't.
@@shannonrunge2080 yes it's caffeine that is the problem. I should've clarified this a little better
@@DrJanelleSinclair thank you
I feel like am going to die 😭I’m never going to drink coffee again
Ma'am, fear of bike accident is also cause of caffeine?
Some fear is good obviously but when it's out of proportion it's a problem. Caffeine can definitely increase feelings of anxiety and fear for some people. It's definitely worth stopping all caffeine for 2 weeks and seeing how you feel.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Thank You
Coffee makes my anxiety less bad... but I also have ADHD sooo
I dont have coffee and I don't have tea

CAN I DRINK DECAF COFFEE N BE GOOD
I stumbled across this video while drinking coffee -_-

Sigh.....what hot drink can I have?

Robert Sweet Check out chicory root coffee substitute
is1989 i 100% agree, or just drink less coffee
I am not drinking coffee anymore
Good on you. Have you felt any improvements yet?
@@DrJanelleSinclair I was not drinking everyday but I had a cup now and then when I had to work more then normal and I felt tired. But now I want to quit it all together because on those days when I am very tired I get easily anxious. I try to keep my blood sugar up with the friut I can it on the low fodmap diet.
@@mihaelaengblom3827 you might want to look into using adrenal support herbs on those days that you are extra tired
I watched the video on adrenal fatigue. I take ashwagandha daily, and when i drink tea I use st Johns wort and salvia.
@@mihaelaengblom3827 awesome!

Why does she talk like mom. I feel sleepy already!
Thanks for the compliment. I'd rather be soothing than heighten anxiety
Dr Janelle Sinclair niceee, but can you please tell me if fish oil and weight training with appropriate protein will quash my anxiety? I want to be able to drink more coffee, when I was younger I used to drink lots of it and now I can’t. Not exactly a disability (not being able to drink more coffee but I like the fighting spirit and coffee gives me that) but I tend to get anxious especially since I have to take Adderall for my ADHD (diagnosed and prescribed).
@@sammyboyroute there's lots of different reasons for anxiety. Take a look at my very first video on zinc. It can be very helpful for anxiety and ADHD.
@@DrJanelleSinclair ok thanks, I will!
@@DrJanelleSinclair thank you so much for the zinc information, I started taking it and almost completely defeated my anxiety. The fish oil helps a lot and I knew that, but the zinc I didn’t know!! Who would of thought zinc would be this effective, amazing indeed. Say, while we are on the topic of adhd, I had an interesting observation to tell you, whenever I ate high fiber as in psyllium husk or something, I would feel much calmer and me adderall would work much better and I read some research that suggested fiber, microbiome, serotonin connection. What are your thoughts on this issue? Thanks again for the zip information, much appreciated!
E:not on any serotonin medication.
Your selling a 300$ course, makes me question the info
Sorry. Why?
why do i do i get nervous every time i drink coffee
