I am so immune to energy drinks I wonder now if it is doing more harm than good.

Yes and no.  If you take energy drinks all the time, you will become resistant to the Caffine or other stimulate.  This is not a good idea.  Sleep is important, very important.  However, on the occasion that you need to stay up late, an energy drink can help.  Too much of anything is not good for anybody.  \nIf you take energy drinks all the time, you will probably be jumpy and your hands will shake.  The long term effect can be serious.  Yes! This can be the death of you if the stimulant is something like Efferdrin.  \nEnergy drinks cause excessive stress and even panic attacks if taken all the time.  This can deffinately shorten you're life.  You should also notice your attitude affected and your patience is close to non-exsistant.\nThe idea behind energy drinks is to give someone who is lifting wieghts extra strength to intensify the workout.  If you fit this category, you need to cycle this like you would Creatine.  \nEven if you use this for working out, energy drinks is not a good idea.  your body tells you what you need.  If you are sleepy, take a short nap.  Routine is the answer.  Sleep at the same time, even if you are in College.  Eat right and exercise.  Sound like a mother or father talking?  Maybe so, but there is more truth in this than meets the eye.  You will have more strength, stamina, and better memory if you just eat and sleep right.  The energy drink will help your memory for just so long; then it is over.  If you continue to use this for study purposes, it does not work.  Take my word for this.  I tried this in college and it did not work at all.\nSorry!  Eat and sleep right and regularly.  This is what you need, not the energy drink.  Take the 3 or 4 days to get yourself back to normal, and stop wasting your time with energy drinks.  This is just another drug that hurts in the long term.

YES! Consuming a raw-food diet will give you all the energy you need!  As well as curing any other maladies you may have. There are alot of good books to get you started; the best one I've found so far is, "Living on Live Food" by Alissa Cohen (www.alissacohen.com). Search, "eat raw food" on Google to find more resources.  And DON'T take the advice about the energy drinks - as you probably know, sugar is an energy-sapper.  Avoid caffeine, too.  \n\nTo start, try investing in a cheapo juicer ($30 or so) from Wal-Mart.  When I need a pick-me-up, I juice some organic spinach, a zuchinni or two, and a bunch of apples, then drink that concoction chilled.  It's green but tastes like the best apple juice you've ever had, and it will really get you going, plus it's really healthy!\n\nKudos to you for having 8 kids - I only have 2 so far, but I HOPE I have 8 someday!   :o)\n\n-  Lauren

For the first month or two after I started taking it, I was much more sensitive to caffeine.  But since I just can't imagine life without my morning coffee, I have built up a tolerance to it again.  Just be cautious about using caffeine while on it.  Moderation is the key.

sometimes you get negative energy from people you dont know... y dont you search and go to another doctor... maybe the place and environment might calm you a bit !

Exercise, run, yoga, meditation, get a punching bag to punch.  \nIf you drink coffee, tea or cola--best to switch to the decaffeinated kind (gradually, so you don't get caffeine withdrawal).  \nEat less sugar, and note that chocolate has both caffeine and sugar.\nYou really might want to phone the doctor about this--you may, or may not, need some medication.

coffee is good but you will probably have to switch it up from time to time because your body will get accustomed to the habit and no longer work. I had to try all types of things like energy drinks, coffee, sweets and even just getting up and moving around as the last resort.

Sounds like you should find something else to drink...seriously.  Any reaction could get worse.

Perhaps you should have a medical checkup to disclose if there are any concerns there.\n\nAlso - if are a diet cola drinker - stop!   Findings show there have been reports of memory loss due to consumption of diet drinks and their elements.\nGo for time period with no consumption - if see improvement - there is your answer.

Can I ask? Do you find that this feeling happens during warmer days? The heat could be a key. If so, it might be the caffiene. As a fellow Mountain Dew lover, I find that after coffe, tea and dew all the caffiene totally messes with my system and dizziness and almost a "numbing" effect in my stomach and body seems to take over. My doctor told me to limit my caffiene intake to one cup. I now drink decaffinated tea in the summer and much more water. I cut the dew in the spring and summer too and switch to gatorade or something. *shrugs* Just a thought. Good luck.....hope you get better!

This is hypoglycemia.  A normal reaction from your body, given your size. You don't have much, if any, body fat, which is the store for sugar in your body.  You must keep some power bars around and use them when you feel like this.  You could actually pass out and get hurt. Hypoglycemia also can alter your judgement.  In severe cases it could unbalance your electrolites.  Be sure to drink lots of water also.  If you just eat a candy bar or soda, your suger will spike and drop rapidly leaving you weaker than before. Good luck and God Bless!\n\nBob K

Wow, you have a whole lot of negative energy and I'm sad to say that it's making you stupid!  Therefore, I can't answer this question!  Good Luck!

That is the problem with caffeine... you eventually have to increase your dosage to get that same jolt that you received when you first started it.\n\nRed Bull has less caffeine than you think, and if you really are a caffeine junky, you might have to start coffee.\n\nMy suggestion though is to ditch the stimulants.  Get enough sleep each night so you don't have to rely on these often times sugar-laden drinks.  Find energy through fitness and your desire to find life exciting. You'll find your mood and sleeping patterns will be improved without the use of stimulants.\n\nI only use caffeine on very rare occasions and am happier because I don't have to have this stuff in my life and nobody has ever told me that I don't have enough energy to do things.\n\nGood luck.

Are you putting alot of sugar in these drinks? If you aren't, get checked for Diabetes. Frequent thirst is a symptom.

Well I'll tell you what i did... \nI went cold turkey... just stop... don't cut back, just stop... and r.w Knudsen has excellent spritzers... basically just sparkling fruit juice... of course if it's the caffeine you're worried about just switch to caffeine free soda...

it could be a # of reasons,\n1) hang over...did you drink the night before(umm... or every night?)\n2)you need caffeine, because you drink coffee/soda and your body is used to having it\n3)you are getting too much sleep, or maybe not enough?\n4) you sleep in a head stand position...stop doing that!!!\n5)your neighbors play loud music all night long\n6)you're not drinking enough WATER, very important!!\nok, if it's none of the above then I would speak to an "ask a nurse" if it persists or gets worse then see your Dr.they may do some blood tests. also if you don't already take one, I'd start taking a multi vitamin once a day,it may help you feel better...it couldn't hurt!!\nI hope you figure out what's up....
