Coffee and Depression

[relaxeus]

Whenever I drink coffee Im down the following day. It is something that I have been keeping an eye on for a very long time and sure enough every time I drink it the next day Im down. Has anyone else noticed this? I've quit coffee and I feel fine day in and out. If anyone here feels down and drinks coffee I urge you to quit drinking it for a few days and see if you experience any improvement in your mood. I can almost guarantee you that you will feel better.

When I was in college, I learned that caffeine can exasserbate depression. You are right on track with this one!

I drink coffee every day and have been recovered from depression for over two years. However, I do limit how much I drink so maybe that has something to do with it. That's cool that when you stopped drinking coffee you felt better

I can't stand the taste. I know what you mean though because caffeine makes me blue. I quit the mountain dew..

I dont know about colas, I dont drink the stuff myself. I just know that coffee affects your mood by pumping your body full of chemicals that make you blue.
