I am considering trying Redline which is one of the most powerful energy drinks that will not cause mania in me.

You're
considering trying it... but you know it won't trigger a manic phase?
You lost me there Doc. If you know it won't cause mania then you must have been using it already right?
According to the website the ingredients are caffeine, amino acids, some sketchy herbal substances, and 5htp. I'm not bipolar so I don't have experience but some people think 5htp and bipolar don't play well together.
