Thanks, Mitch. I think you are onto something because I do remember distinctly that she (my doc) said there is a disinhibition of norepinephrine going on with stimulants like caffeine. I've never had a panic attack that felt like it was triggered by stimulant (caffeine) use but I did have one that may have been triggered by a steroid shot that a doctor gave me without asking or caring about my psychiatric history (some M.D.s consider all that to be irrelevant, you know.)
