May go on concerta. i am very sensitive to energy drinks.... does this mean i need to be concerned about being equally sensitive to stimulant meds as well? i don't want to have a heart attack

Not neccessarrily: Energy drinks are high in caffeine and you should not have any problem with concerta, you may start with small dose and gradually increase if needed good luck, you will not get heart attack.
