Recently gone off coffee 'as a drug'. 30+ years of at least three cups a day, dipped in and out of everything from cheap instant to caring about grinding methods.

Now it gives me the shakes and I feel like I'm having a heart attack. A few (actual) panic attacks. Withdrawal was a nightmare -- took about two or three weeks -- but I've never felt better off.

Is this normal, or is it some kind of caffeine hypersensitivity I've always had/somehow developed?
