Caffeine can definitely worsen anxiety from what I've experienced. If you have a tolerance though it may not make a difference. Like with everything it differs person to person. I remember a while ago after a hiatus a strong cup of coffee could actually induce a panic attack. My heart would speed up and I would get that feeling in my chest area. It has since gone away, thank goodness, as I love coffee. So either drink lots of coffee and get your tolerance up or quit all together. Just my two cents.
Also if you're taking meds it can help curb the anxiety all together. I think for me it was the abilify that helped stop the caffeine induced panic attacks. Caffeine can make your mind race which is bad for those prone to anxiety.
