I absolutely agree about the increased sensitivity to caffeine. In my case, just mixing in 1/3 decaf solved the problem. Raises an interesting point though; why do some of us just shrug our shoulders and say "Whoa, too much coffee! This is giving me the jitters" and others feel like they're having a full-blown panic attack? And, in fact, they might be. Thinking back to the couple I've had in my life (thank goodness!) the physiological feelings are exactly the same, it's just how my mind reacted that made the differance between how I felt over all. My guess is that as one becomes 'better' (i.e. less depressed), one of the subtle hallmarks is a greater resistance to being rattled by things that just don't bother most everyone out there.
(On a 'sub-theraputic' 37.5 EFXR for 3 months and it's changed my life!)
