HEy guys...

Sup guys... ive stopped taking energy supplements alltogether and tried to stop drinking caffeine and everything. Since ive stopped, about 2 weeks late ive started to have panic attacks... ill be sitting there then all of a sudden i start freaking out and getting all emotional so I went to the ER and they told me it was caffeine withdrawls. I keep getting these bumps that look like hives on my arms and my chest.... they go away after a while but they just randomly keep popping up. Sometimes i get these warm sensations in random parts of my body and i dont know what to do with myself. My MAIN concern is the fact that at times, my testicles get sore and it lasts for like 5-10 minutes... the supplements i used to take are Redline RTD, Lipo-6 stacked with ephedrine, CEE, MAN Scorch and i have taken them for a total of about 4 months.. I told my doctor about the supplements and that ive had panic attacks recently so he prescibed me Xanex (SP?) but i was just wondering if anyone here has any other input on what could be causeing these things.. At work, i got REALLY REALLY cold all of a sudden and my hands were all clammy. I went to the hospital and my heart is completely fine so its not that but SERIOUSLY, this shit has been freaking me out and I would really love some responses to this... thanks guys :uhoh: OH yah and sometimes i get the shakes... I mean... DAMNNIT... im only 19 years old... i dont wanna be going through this because at times it feels like im gonna die and/or pass out...

Im not sure what thats about but I do know you dont wanna be taking xanax in the long term.......Benzo withdrawl is hell. Hopefully time will take care of your problems...

yeah bro be careful with the xanax, im real surprised he gave u those unless ur withdrawal was from some other narcotics like pain killers or the like, but u describe definate withdrawal symptoms for sure but i never ever heard of such symptoms at the stage u describe from only the type of stuff u said u were taking, sounds more like a pain killer withdrawal to me or the like, but not caffiene and ephedrine, i just drag real bad from those withdrawals after a few days its gone, but everyone is different and i wish u the best, i know panic attacks can slow ur life down, so GOD bless ya bro, 19 yrs old is way to young so get it taken care of now and ditch the xanax unless u experience insomnia

Never had withdraws from caffeine or ephedra bro. Why didn't you just taper yourself off instead of quitting all at once. Bump Cy and Press on the xanax, don't go from one thing to another.

Doc is taking me off Ambien and Colonapin slowly. I have been on everything and finally said f it. So far, so good. Also quit drinking and other bad habits.

IMHO this sounds like the onset of a panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder. Both can develope spontaneously and without some identifiable incedent as a cause. Xanax is probably the correct drug in this case. The other guys were right in saying that benzos are a PIA to come off of. They are very addictive and withdrawing from them can be very difficult. Be careful. I would definately follow up with your regular MD. THe ER guys just get you in and out. I am not sure how diet supps can affect the things either. Be careful and definately follow up. Best of luck....

ow it was an emergency room dr who gave the xanax? i would definatly ask ur fam phys

nope... it was my family psys that gave me the prescription... it wasnt the ER Dr.... Hopefully this shit goes away...cuz it truly does suck and i hate it very much....

Definitely withdrawal symptoms. You probably should have tapered off. My wife has been trying to stop drinking caffeinated sodas like Pepsi, etc. and she has had problems everytime she tries to stop all at once because she had practically lived on it before we were married. She has now been going off it slowly and had way less symptoms this time around. (On the plus side, she is also now starting to lose the weight she has been trying to lose for a few years.)

like presser said, make sure your really careful with that xanax. you can get hooked on benzo's pretty quick and then you will need them to even feel normal. you think the withdrawls from caffene are bad. coming off benzo's is alot worse. i cant take anything like that. been there done that. its no fun
