Hello. Just reading your post i understand exactly what you mean. I myself was really feeling tired took me hours to wake up. One day when i was out i thought i would drink red bull just to try it. Before long i was feeling awake and quite great i couldn't stop drinking it i just didn't want to go back to what i was like.

To be honest with you it may be making you feel great but being addicted to it is really something that you don't need it's just going to add more problems which you don't need. If its starting to feel like a war between your meds and the red bull then it's clearly having a big affect on you. It's doing something that it shouldn't be doing. It may get to the point where it really starts to undo all what the meds have manged to do. Are you sure that it's not just the mania having you think that you don't want to give it up?. The best thing is to stop drink it altogether.

I carred on drinking it and went right off the rails i ended up in a quite a few fights. For your own sake give it up. 

I too drink energy drinks.  My favorite is the Target Brand sugar free one that tastes like Fresca.  I have one or two a day, but I don't drink as much coffee as I used to, so it doesn't seem to matter.  they also have some vitamins in them.  Just don't drink too many in one day.  I'm also have been recently put on Zoloft which has given me some energy that I didn't have before.  I hardly ever take naps anymore.  I guess it all depends on how many energy drinks you have per day.  Most people that drink coffee are addicted to it so what's the difference?
