Do energy drinks have a negative effect on your liver? I mentioned taking 1 daily as I was always feeling tired and normally if I don't have 1 I tend to get more tired and sleepy. They never really said if they were bad just not to take excessive amounts of them?

I'm wondering whether they best option until I can see my consultant again is it treat them same as alcohol to be on safe side? I just don't want the fatigue to come back...... I'm doing what I am told and have lost 4lbs in weight which is a first in years!!! so they can't be harming me that much can they?

Try going for black coffee; not only will it give you a boost, but it actually helps your liver.

no not anaemic, only thing I'm on is citalopram and vitamin D, my vitamin D levels were extremely low so I'm on a loading dose for 7 weeks then off for 1 month then normal dose supplement afterwards

Energy drinks are bad for everyone that is why they are banned for sale in so many countries there are many deaths that have been put down to energy drinks
