A member asked:

Can i drink a5 hour energy to combat the sleepiness effect of xanax (alprazolam) one milligram? i took it at 9am est. now it's 3:15...6 hours later

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Polypharmacy: is never good. Taking one medication to counteract the effects of another may be problematic. Perhaps consider some caffeine from either tea or coffee? As energy drinks can have dangerous cardiac side effects.
