Without knowing the exact drink that you would like to use, it is hard to say whether it would be an issue with the current medications you are taking. You should certainly be careful with energy drinks. They can contain lots of sugars, herbals, and caffeine. Specific products vary, so it is important to know the exact ingredients in whatever you’re thinking about taking.

In general, herbal medications do not work well with the medications you are taking. For the energy you need, I would consider replacing energy drinks and supplement usage with sleep, exercise, and a better diet, making sure to take a daily multivitamin, as well.
