THere are, of course, many biochemical mediatiors of what might anxiety in certain indivdiduals.
You noted that caffiene reduced the anti-anxiety effect of SSRI's in mice.
Well thats great, but I get no anti-anxiety effect from SSRI's.
I've been on and off coffee multiple times in my life for extended periods. When I am on it, I experience less anxiety, when I am on it, I experience more.
Usually, when I can't sleep, I need to get up, have a cup of coffee, and then go back to sleep.
I've been on over 50 different psychiatric medications. I know what they do to me, and what they don't do. Some kids can't sleep if they don't get their ritalin! Everybody reacts differently.
