If she's already on meds, call the doctor in the morning about the energy drink.

Are energy drinks bad for Teens with ADHD? my DD is drinking some in the AM. her friend is giving her some and I am not sure what to do. Can she have a heart attack if she takes Adderall and 1 can of energy drink like Red bull?
