energy drinks?

[Unknown652]

how do they do with social phobia?

hmm idk.. but they contain caffeine and other stimulants right? Usually stimulants cause my anxiety to increase. You'll just have to try it out yourself.. We all react differently.

it doesn't help decreasing your anxiety, but it gives you an energy,concentration and focus that is very helpful. You will certainly have better conversations with people as you can focus more on what people say to you and how you could respond to that, also you react quicker and more impulsive to what others say so that you say things that you otherwise only think but would be too afraid of to tell out loud.
I always drink one in the morning when I arrive at school.

energy drinks don`t work on me at all. the only thing that makes me feel high is coffee, and It actually helps to some extent.

I think it makes your heart beat faster, so chances are it would increase your anxiety. I only take em when I have to wake up early in the morning (which is very rare) or sometimes when I do sports.

I used to drink a Monster when I would go out because it was the one thing that would make me feel outgoing enough to socialize with people. I don't think it was the caffeine because that makes me freak out more than anything. There is Taurine in Monster and I know some people take that to help with anxiety. My guess is that that was what helped. The only part that sucks is the crash because sometimes, you crash HARD.

I have tried Monster, Red Bull, Rock Star and plus the 5 hour energy drinks (the small ones).

The only one that seems to help a little bit with SA is the 5 hour energy. All the others don't do a thing for it.

So yeah try 5 hour one
