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.

My previous pdoc told me that energy drinks will not cause mania, but the lack of sleep will.

I just don't know if it will affect concentration.
