Should I give it up? I have pretty severe anxiety but I also love the taste of Orange Cream Coke Zero and Monster.

Why not try skipping caffeine for a week or two and see if it has a beneficial effect?

Caffeine clears out of your body fairly quickly, but you need time after that for your system to readjust and any changes to become apparent. Some people feel very lethargic, or get headaches for a while after dropping caffeine, but that passes fairly quickly.
