A member asked:
I need your expertise, is 5 hour energy ok to take with ritalin (methylphenidate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Because both have stimulating effects. But then people have varied tolerance to meds and substances. If u take them both, space them about 6-8 hours apart to minimize the additive effects. Take care!
