In addition to my meds and vitamins, I find that a small cup of coffee in the morning and mid-afternoon helps perk me up and I feel somewhat better. That is to say, if your anxiety is under control with meds and/or vitamins, a cup of coffee now and then might be good medicine. I knew someone who was on Paxil, and since this medicine can make you feel tired during the day, he used to drink a few cups of coffee each day. He smoked too, but I don't recommend that behavior. Some people say green tea gives them a lift, but I always felt worse from drinking green tea. I don't know why that is. I guess everybody's different. I gave up on the energy drinks. They may help somewhat, but I don't like all the crap they put in them. Coffee works for me.
