Anxiety after taking sertraline and caffeine

I've been taking sertraline for a couple weeks. I take it at bedtime. I took a caffeine pill around noon after eating and then drank half a Reign energy drink with my meal just after 5 pm. Shortly after returning to work at 6, I began to feel very anxious. Has anyone else experienced similar? I don't always use this much caffeine but I'm guessing this means I need to cut back. I was able to tolerate 200 mg a couple days ago but I don't think I should use much more than that.

That's also a sugar high but caffeine is a diuretic too. Maybe water it down some??

Yeah that sounds about right. Now that you mention it I remember I've always done better with energy drinks if I have plenty of water with them. I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm needing a boost. Thanks!
