Yes, that will be the most logical step, to stop using caffeine drinks, specifically if being on treatment for anxiety as caffeine can worsen anxiety.

Yes, it is well known that drinks that contain large amounts of caffeine can cause anxiety. Before going on large doses of anti-anxiety medications, weaning yourself off of energy drinks and caffeine would be a good starting point. Good luck.
