Brief Answer:
decreases concentration these drugs slightly
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
Caffeine is enzyme inducer and it increases the metabolism of all these drugs. Caffeine enhances the metabolism of zoloft and abilify in particular leading into decrease in concentration in body.
These is not much effect on klonopin in compare to other mentioned two drugs.
People who take high dose of caffeinated soda need slightly increased dose of zoloft and abilify and there is more risk of treatment failure.
It is better if you can cut down the caffeinated drink as it will be difficult to know what extent the metabolism affected for a particular individual.

Thanks, Dr. XXXXXXX for your help. I will put more of a focus on stopping my diet soda intake knowing that it does affect my medications' performance. It makes sense that as this is happening, I feel strange. Caffeinated diet soda is very addicting and I feel that it has made me gain weight, too! Thanks, again!
