Drink a lot of water and/or some warm milk.
Breathe.
Know that this will pass soon.

Although the lethal dose of coffee would be somewhere in the range of 50 to 200 cups, a senstive person can have horrible anxiety related results from a large dose.
Acute caffeine poisoning gives early symptoms of anorexia, tremor, and restlessness. Followed by nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, and confusion. Serious intoxication may cause delirium, seizures, supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, hypokalemia, and hyperglycemia.
Perhaps your cousin should be taken to the emergency room where they may induce emesis (help her to vomit).

I get these all the time, I can't drink coffee at all or to much soda or I feel jittery and shakey and my heart beats fast, best thing to do is stay calm and drink lot's of water to flush the caffeine out then when it's all out of your system stay away from it or limit it to a small amount a day, the feeling you get is very scarey but you'll be ok, just start drinking lot's of water it'll help i promise..God bless

I did this one time. I drank chammomile tea and it calmed me down a lot. I am very sensative to caffein myself. Trust me, this will help. Water will take too long.

She needs to go to the hospital. I mean there is no way to see how much she ingested and what could happen. She should really go to Emerg.
