I keep cutting all caffeine out of my diet, and then I give in again and again.
Green tea is my biggest weakness, and I recently awaited the taste for coffee.
I have switched to mostly decaf and it sometimes helps my anxiety. I have adhd (which overlaps significantly with hypervigilance of ptsd) and sometimes a little caffeine works like the adhd meds - so sometimes I give in again when I'm really figity and anxious. However, too much and I can't sleep. I also think it increases my reactivity.
Here is a great article about amounts of caffeine in various drinks: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-l...healthy-eating/in-depth/caffeine/art-20049372.
