I know you're not supposed to drink it on an empty stomach, 
BUT if I'm studying, I'm not really paying attention to things… until I collapse in a mass of squivering, grinding and knashing of teeth. I drink coffee on an empty stomach, (in mass quantities), regular tea is fine, but GREEN tea brings paralyzing pain without food.
I went to a tea ceremony and noticed that they always serve little cakes and things, thereby avoiding collapsing samurai.
I keep bread by my desk now, but I was wondering why green tea would do that to my body when coffee and other harsh stimulants don't.

It could be the high anti-oxidant level. Which, if your body is full of oxidants. (which most are) gets attacked severely when on an empty stomache. The anti-oxidant compounds seeking what ever it can find to nuetralize. Without food this can cause pain in some cases.

Its not as highly processed, the antioxidants might have a factor in it. Basically if you're drinking green tea only do so with food, or pick a different drink
