    After being off caffeine for 4 years, I started drinking green tea. It's amazing how close "caffeinated" feels to "anxious" for me!?!

        @avantgame I can do caffeine, but green tea makes me anxious too. Can't do it.

        @avantgame I've been off caffeine for nearly that long, and I now have no tolerance for it. It almost feels like a minor panic attack.

        @avantgame I have had “fascinating” results from the stimulants in cacao beans. see previous tweet. It is a particular dance of trail/error

        @avantgame Power naps and earlier bed times are probably better than aggressive stimulants.

        @avantgame even decaf tea does that to me, green tea especially. Coffee isn't as bad, ironically enough. Tea every other day not so bad.
