After seeking proper medical help, for most of my adult life, I finally took things into my own hands. I am severely allergic to caffeine, and never knew it. Caffeine and theophylline are often given to stop anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. The drugs mask their own symptoms. An allergy to caffeine causes anaphylaxis, a true chmical imbalance, which is often mistaken as panic disorder. Caffeine allergy causes many other disorders. Sleep apnea, TMJ, and bruxism,are just a few. Caffeine allergy induces ADD-like symptoms, loss of focus, change of thoughts, leading to the inability to make a clear cut decision, change of intellect level, mood changes, anxiety, OCD, BPD, and schizophrenia. Exhaustion is a sign of caffeine toxicity. A loss of "self" is a sign of allergic toxicity. With caffeine cessation, all disorders vanish, when the hypothalamus returns to its natural state.


Hope this has helped someone. God bless.
