At some point, Caffeine started making me feel jittery and anxious, so I stopped taking it.
Is there a way to restore my tolerance for it?
- nverno 4y agoI get similar jittery+anxiety and also sweaty palms from coffee, but not from tea. Have you tried different sources?
- yamrzou 4y agoI tried Yerba Mate, same effect, although milder.
- r1ch 4y agoHave you tried taking theanine with it?
- yamrzou 4y agoNo, what does it do?
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 4y agoReduces the jitter/anxiety. It's present in green tea, and its to caffeine as CBD is to THC. Doesn't do much on its own, but dampens some of the unpleasant side effects of the main psychoactive chemical in its plant.

A fun read about someone building their tolerance for caffeine during the pandemic, who was jittery and anxious before. https://medium.com/@TestingInProd/building-a-caffeine-tolerance-as-a-caffeine-sensitive-person-580579946c76 https://medium.com/@TestingInProd/building-a-caffeine-tolera...
- yamrzou 4y agoThanks, exactly what I was looking for!
- jotm 4y agoYeah, 3-4 weeks without it... Also, try different coffee brands/beans/roasts. I hate coffee now because of that variation. So better yet, use caffeine pills, but also try different brands, because some give you "cleaner" energy than others. There's only 2 ways to extract it, the rest is about dosage. Capsule vs tablet difference is almost unnoticeable imo.
