Just had a few energy drinks and with my anxiety that was a bad idea! Really bad idea. My panic attack just then was very 'different' and that worried me.
Don't have them if you have anxiety......

They have a LOT of caffeine and sugar in them. I drink sugar free redbull at work sometimes.. I don't really get any anxiety from them but i'm sure i'd get the shakes and start freaking out if I had a big regular one. The amount of sugar/caffeine in those things is crazy!! You have to drink them cautiously.

I think that stimulants in general are a bad idea for anyone with anxiety, yet as I say this I am drinking coffee :)

Yups those energy drinks are powerful! I have really backed off from thinngs with a lot of sugars as they are triggers similar to panic attacks! The increased heart beat, the shakes etc...... So I would say if you are in good control of your anxiety/panic then you know how to deal with the differences, but if you are not there yet, I would take it a little easy on the caffeine / sugars
