I try to be 'good' when it comes to both, and have almost completely cut them out. I drink decaf and avoid caffeinated drinks, and very rarely drink alcohol (a couple of cocktails or mixed drinks maybe once a month). I found that caffeine only hyped me up more and made my anxiety spike, and while alcohol felt relaxing at the time, it sometimes left me feeling low the day after, and it can also interact with my meds.
