In my experience at least, nicotine actually does alleviate anxiety. That is, until you become addicted to it and the anxiety you want to alleviate is caused by the substance itself.

I've never heard of caffeine causing anxiety. Do you have a source you can share?

For me personally, caffeine in certain doses reduces my anxiety based general OCD and Reading OCD.

No sources on hand. But now that I think about maybe I mean something more like irritability. Idk. When I was younger I would drink caffeinated drinks instead of eating... So it could be that lol.
