Can reaction to caffeine in soda cause unexplained anger?
human
I am a really a nice guy, i never had an issue like this i enjoy life and people but i had a really serious experience ( no im not some kind of serial killer, i just had an unusual problem). OK i decided to buy an amp energy drink, first time i ever drank one just wanted to see what was so good about them. It was pretty good but then after a while i felt a SURGE of anger hit me and i felt really angry for some reason. I felt mad at the world, i hated everyone i saw and had nasty disturbing thoughts about people whom i didn t even know(strangers) i wished harm upon them which pretty much scared me. I talked to my girlfriend on my cell phone snapped on her and hung up in her face because she asked me to pick up bottles for my son. I murmured things about her calling her the b word and how bad i wanted to slap that B when i see her, of course i would never hurt my girlfriend i love her dearly but i became a different person. I was at walmart and a man stared at me for over 5 seconds i became disturbingly angry and was a few seconds away from punching him(wish i was joking but sadly im not). i felt like i was possessed or something and it freaked me out. i went home and punched my wall a few times till i was satisfied and went to sleep almost instantly, now that i have woken up i feel fine and decided to call my girlfriend and apologize to her. i looked it up on the internet and it seems i could have had a allergic reaction from the caffeine in my soda, but i want to confirm can caffeine really make you feel this way?

I appreciate your concerns and based on your history i would suggest the following:1. Energy drinks have ingredients that go into our brain can interplay with the brain chemistry. It is not necessary that it is caffeine there may be some other psychoactive ingredient as well. 2. You were previously not like this, you have no psychiatric disorder history and you are fine again after some time highly suggest that the mood change was induced by the drink and substances that changes brain chemicals ( neurotransmitters) can do this. I hope you find this helpful.
