5 Hour Energy drink problem
Has anyone ever had a 5 Hour Energy drink before? I tried one for the first time and have had more suicidal thoughts than ever. I'm also feeling kinda tired and want to go lie back down for a while.
I took it to help study for exams coming up next week, if anyone is curious. I'm not even really sure why I'm asking this, I'm just a mix of being tired and awkwardly erratic, coupled with being more... I don't know, casually suicidal than normal? I certainly don't want to study right now.
I'm feeling the beginning of a headache as well, going to lie down for a while and read responses when I get up if this question doesn't get deleted. I suppose this isn't the greatest of questions, either, sorry for that.

I use 5 hour energy and other energy drinks pretty frequently. The flushed/warm feeling is from the niacin. The headaches and "out of it" feeling are from the caffeine. Caffeine stops you from being too tired, but it also prevents you from storing memories properly. It's fine for taking a test or doing mindless tasks, but you'll have a hard time studying.
Reduce your caffeine dosage next time. Drink only half of the 5 hour energy container. And any suicidal thoughts worth mentioning on Advicenators warrants concern; visit a psychiatrist.

i used to get panic attacks/anxiety attacks. through trial and error i learnedto stay away from a number of things. caffeine is one of the worst things to have. anything that raises blood pressure tends to be bad too like smoking . basically any stimulant tends to make bad thoughts worse. if i have caffeine i'm up half the nighthaving awful thoughts and feeling that i'm going crazy. everybody is different and i can't say what will necessary work for you. exercise should help reduce stress. if you already exercise regularly, maybe adding something like meditation could possibly calm you down. i once read this and it does seem to help. but i close my eyes and try to clear my head and breathe in and out very deeply. i imagine the air coming in and out and just concentrate on that. if anything pops into my head that's bad, as per the instructions i think " i know i have these thoughts but shall think of them later" but continue to breathe and such. now i never have to call upon those thoughts later. it's jsut a way to delay it and sorta move it away. i can't say this would help for sure, but for me i began taking the ginseng supplement "ginsanna gold" it's the ginseng with vitimans. but it would calm me down. plus it wold give the nice effect of making my thoughts more clear. it's like extra awareness. but if u do have such negative thoughts professional help may be necessary. don't go too long. you have yoru whole life to live and putting offhelp can be so easy to do.

Anything that boosts energy has a tendency to also boost anxiety. It happens to me too, only I'm kinda used to it now since I drink my weight in caffeine on a daily basis.
