I'm Agoraphobic with PD. I've been working hard to get outside of my comfort zone and can make it a few blocks away from home now. I've cut all caffeine out of my diet and have been caffeine free for several months, I'm also pretty sensitive to caffeine in general. My first panic attack when I was 17 was due to mass over consumption of energy drinks (I'm in my 30s now) while chain smoking. I'm currently on no medication, but I may try Lexapro next week. I'm doing a Huel/Hello Fresh diet and have lost 30Lbs (down to 260), but I'm still hypertensive; for now (126/90 mmHg).

I chew smokeless tobacco, it's gross; I know. I do it obsessively, like a can a day.

I'd like to hear success stories about Tobacco/Nicotine cessation and improvement in PD and the sentiment between tobacco and anxiety. The Catch 22 is I use tobacco as a coping strategy for anxiety, but I also wonder if it's making it worse, overall; or even one of the causes. Thanks :)
