Caffeine doesn't affect my seizures so I actually drink a lot of caffeine. Think I myself am a Redbull addict. I need rebull at least every two days or I'd get really cranky, grumpy and depressive. And I love coffee in the mornings and nights and sodas in the day. Ask your neuro if redbull affects you or your medications in any way. If it does, then you should stop. But, if it doesn't, you have a choice of drinking redbull as much as you like. Hope you're ding well. God bless.

Hi there, Red bull is in my opinion just that little bit too strong. I don't know about others countries but in the U.K. there has been quite a few stories of people being involved in accidents and such things as extreme rage after drinking Red bull over long periods of time. So my advice is there's nothing wrong with it occasionally but for the time being stick with something a bit milder but equally 'fashionable' like Sprite 3G. It'll still give that little boost but its not quite as intense a hit as Red Bull.
