On Prednisone. Had Rip-It Energy Drink. Is The Drink Safe To Have Now?

I am on prednisone right now. I also stayed up until 1 in the morning to finish an english paper due today. I am extreamly tired & I have a Rip-It energy drink. My doc told me Prednisone might make me hyper, but i took it yesterday & I feel like it didn't make me hyper at all. In fact, I think it made me sleepy! Is drinking an energy drink safe right now?

Hi and welcome to HCM.
First, this is absurdity to prescirbe prednoson for such things. This is idiotism. Better take some natural coffeine or guarana suplements. There arent reported interactions between prednisone and energydrinks so nothing should happen. Take it in moderate doses. If you feel any strange symptoms stop it and go to hospital.Wish you good health and good studying.
