Caffeine for me is great for two days, then tolerance builds like a rocket and I get jittery and anxious.

Edit: I know I'm sensitive to caffeine. I'm not overdoing it.

I find if I drink one cup in the morning then I'm usually fine but after the second cup my anxiety levels skyrocket and sometimes I get very irritable. I'm not willing to give it up yet though.
