Energy drinks

theres something about energy drinks that makes me feel better, i think its mainly the combination of taurine and caffeine, maybe the vitamins too, i notice l theanine kind of makes me depressed its like it takes away the effects of caffeine, and coffee alone doesn’t help as much, but coffee plus taurine is good, i don’t really like the taste of coffee tho so i prefer the energy drinks.

i never would have thought this would help me because i always associated caffeine with anxiety but its kind of had the opposite effect

It’s the relaxing effect of Taurine, plus the stimulating effect of Caffeine.

I noticed this too, I said it a while back; there’s something about the right combination of sedatives and stimulants that bring forth a nice feeling.

those feel like the two most important things, do you think the other stuff in energy drinks contributes to it like the ginseng, carnitine, and b vitamins

Ginseng is a stimulant and b vitamins are generally good for your health.

The only cause for concern about energy drinks is that there’s waaayyy too much sugar and caffeine.

If you cut those out, or minimize them, there’s really nothing bad about those drinks.

yeah, i have only drank zero sugar energy drinks, and consume no more than about 250 mg caffeine throughout the course of a day, usually less.

i feel like with coffee id be consuming more caffeine and sugar because i can only handle the taste of coffee with tons of cream and sweetener, and theres no completely accurate caffeine content for coffee

seems like there is alot of news and stuff about how bad energy drinks are for people but coffee is considered like the key to being healthy

If I have to do things, I have two options: skip my morning meds or take them and drink an energy drink. I needed my meds this morning, so I went with an energy drink. I haven’t had one in a long time, so it’s really effecting me. My TD is awful right now. It’s hard to type. I don’t know how I’m going to clean. So I am kinda anti- energy drink at the moment.
