Are Energy Drinks Advisable While On Anticonvulsants For Epilepsy?
Hello, I have Epilepsy and due to my anti convulsants I have low energy. Rather than drinking energy drinks and coffee would it be beneficial to drink glucose drinks such as Lucozade? Also as I am quite proud of my figure as I got healthy and lost weight would the increase in glucose drinks make me put weight on? Your input would be much appreciated. Many thanks Jasmine

i will not advice you to take any energy drink.
a good healthy diet is more than sufficient. drink plenty of water. include milk, egg, green leafy vegetables and fruits in you regular diet.
all energy drinks contain secret drugs which is not given in its label. long time use results in addiction and lots of health problems. all they want is money so avoid it.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
