Is it a good idea to drink energy drinks when you are on mental medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely not!: Modern "energy" drinks provide their boost mostly with Amino Acids that are the building blocks for the stimulating neurotransmitters made in your brain. Most "mental medications" work by adjusting the complex interplay of neurotransmitters in the brain. Therefore, energy drinks, just like alcohol and drugs, will likely interact with and interfere with your medications.
