I would advise VERY strongly against it. Prozac increases your sensitivity to caffeine. I was on only a 20mg a day dose of it, and would get very shaky if I had more than a couple of caffeinated sodas per day.

One day I wanted a boost for a workout and made the mistake of taking a 5 hour energy shot, thinking that it would be safe since it advertising it doesn't make you as jittery as energy drinks. It was a horrifying experience... I was trembling horribly, nauseous... just felt terrible.

It is possible to overdose on caffeine... people think because they buy something in a store it is safe... that is not always the case. Especially when taking daily meds, you have to me conscious about what you put into your body. There is a laundry list of things prozac and other SSRI's conflict with... heck, one night I needed to take cough syrup, and called a pharmacist, and she advised against mixing the two...

So yeah, be careful... if you are married to the idea of taking an energy drink, then that should be the ONLY caffeine you have that day, but even then, it is not a good idea.
