A member asked:
Does caffeine make anxiety/ocd worse? if so, how much would be safe to drink? would 1 or 2 cans of coca cola or pepsi a day be ok?

Anxiety & caffeine: in my opinion any stimulant whether it be medication that's legal or illegal, caffeine, nicotine, and even sugar can increase the symptoms of anxiety and OCD. Therefore sugarfree and caffeine free sodas would be preferential.
