Q: are energy drinks ok with dexedrine?

I'm Wondering If I Were To Take My Meds Like Usual, Would It Be Ok To Drink An Energy Drink Say Like Vitamin Water's Power C With Taurine?

You are going to want to check with your pharmacist or doctor before you have energy drinks while taking dexedrine.  My 9 year old takes it and she can't have caffeine (which is in abundance in most energy drinks) or antihistmines because they raise blood pressure.  She also can't have vitamin C b/c its my understanding that it keeps the body from absorbing the dexedrine properly. Please check with your pharmacist before using energy drinks as dexedrine is a stimulant medication.
