I have mild-moderate depression. I'm usually pretty tired. I've had this five hour energy drink twice now, and both times it's pretty much eliminated both those symptoms. For over five hours, I feel energy and want to do things instead of sit around. The depression is much less intense, if it exists at all.
I have a few questions. Is my lack of energy causing my depression or is it the other way around? The ingredients of the drink are fairly straightforward. The drink has a pretty large amount of Vitamin B6 and B12. I've read that the B vitamins are important for energy production, so I bought a B complex supplement today. I took one tablet about an hour ago and I'm not seeing nearly enough of a difference as the drink, not that I was expecting to.
Is the increased energy from the drink just upping my mood or is this an indicator of some vitamin or ingredient I'm missing in my diet?
