Yuck, caffeine where you didn't expect it. In addition to the water, I'd think that anything like bread or crackers could help to absorb the unwanted drug - but this reply is probably coming way too late to help you at this point. I'm sorry that this happened to you.
I'm very sensitive to caffeine. I deliberately stopped drinking it daily (in cola sodas, I've never had coffee - can't stand the smell so never bothered to taste the stuff)around High School, and in college used it only for staying up to write term papers (at the last minute of course and with no rough draft).
If I choose to use caffeine nowadays, which I occasionally do because pizza places and Subway don't have caffeine-free colas in their machines or refrigerator cases (and why don't they?), I try not to have any soda until after I've consumed all of my food so the caffeine enters my system more slowly. I also try not to have any caffeine after noon. Sometimes I can get away with it, but other times it can cause me anxiety attacks (usually while I'm driving) or worsten my restless leg syndrome so that I have to take more meds.
I agree with the others who've suggested writing to the company to let them know that they've lost a customer because of this addition to their product.
