Red Bull and Pregabalin

[On Fire]

Since I have started taking Pregabalin again I feel really awful if I drink a can of Red Bull.
This is quite strange, as I can drink plenty of coffee and tea without ill effect, but just one can of Red Bull and I feel awful - rapid heart rate, anxiety, bad mood. I used to really enjoy drinking Red Bull.
Does anybody else have experience of consuming Red Bull while on Pregabalin?
Do they react badly?
Many thanks for any replies.

Red Bull is seriously bad for anyone with anxiety..... the last thing you need when suffering with anxiety is to fill your body with stimulants like there are in energy drinks!!

My guess that it is not so much the Pregabalin and Red Bull but all the stimulants in Red Bull giving you all the symptoms.

Anxiety and stimulants really do not mix

I totally agree with Venusbluejeans!

Also it is best to avoid coffee and tea. Drink herbal teas such as Chamomile.
