Hummm...the coffee drinker , is it me? lol ;-)I take the time to read all the post about your question and it seem that the coffee act dirrentely on everyone.
I agree that in my case, if I drink too much coffee, I will not get anxious but a lot more tired, coffee make me feel a lot tired, especially at night time, I wonder why... I think it low my blood pressure.
I find the correct daily dosage of caffeine just for me...and I know when to stop and when I reach the acceptable limit... I also notice that "Wake-up" pills or any others form of "chemical" caffeine make me more nervous and anxious...and I can't drink at all the very populars energy drinks, if I drink one I do panic attacks(Maybe it's related to the Taurine inside it or others minerals)...even Pepsi Max make me feel a lot anxious.
So just the coffee seem to be assimiled differently by my metabolisme and not increase my anxiety level. I admit that sometimes, if I drink too much coffee, my hands or feets can be moist...but that's maybe just relative to the warm-up of my body temprature cause by the coffee...Anyway I didn't wanted to start a fight about caffeine, for me it's ok, for you maybe not...I'm just talking about my experience and you talk about yours...we are here to share experiences after all and help the others no?...So I hope I don't offense you ;-)
Take care of you and have a nice evening ;-)
