Answer 1

Diphenhydramine belongs to a group of medications known as antihistamines. Antihistamines are used to treat symptoms caused by allergies, including itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, and skin rash and irritations.

It can also be indicated for sleep. Therefore, it may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this drug affects you.
Remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this drug.


Red Bull is an energy drink that's developed in Austria. Red Bull’s marketing campaign promises the beverage “gives you wings.”

FACT
A popular myth claims that one of Red Bull's ingredients, taurine, is an extract from a bull's testicles. While taurine is an amino acid naturally found throughout the body, the taurine found in Red Bull is entirely synthetic.


The label on a can of Red Bull boasts caffeine, vitamins, a carbohydrate (glucuronolactone), an amino acid (taurine), and about five teaspoons of sugar



CBC Marketplace in 2005 tested Red Bull for those ingredients. They hired a laboratory to analyze the contents of the slender silver and blue can – and sure enough, the label’s no bull. A 250 ml can of Red Bull contains, among other ingredients:

80 mg of caffeine (more than three times the caffeine that’s in the same amount of Coke)
1000 mg of taurine, an amino acid
It’s a combination the company claims will boost your energy.


Another fact is that even though Red Bull is claimed to be an energy drink, it doesn’t replenish the body after physical exertion (like sports drinks such as Gatorade).


IOn the contrary, because Red Bull has so much caffeine – it can actually dehydrate the drinker. That means if you’re physically exerting yourself and drink just a Red Bull, the lack of hydration could strain your heart.


In 2000, Ross Cooney, a healthy, 18-year-old basketball player from Limerick, Ireland, collapsed on the court and died after drinking four cans of Red Bull before a basketball game.


The French health committee canned the sale of Red Bull, partly because a study found that rats fed taurine exhibited bizarre behaviour. That behaviour, says Vanrullen, included: "anxiety, irritability, a high sensitivity to noise --sudden jumps in their cages-- and most of all, self-mutilations.


That's the main reason why you feel odddd dd.....dd....... In addition, antihistmanics like Benadryl are known to excite or give you a high; also.


I hope I didn't scare you with the grim picture above. Most likely, you'll be fine. Just drink a lot of water to flush out your system. Next time, read the ingredients for any food or drink that you put into your body. Avoid mixing meds with alcohol or any energy drink . Or even for that matter, avoid drinking energy drink that has these three ingredients which might interact with each other. .

Answer 2

Don't do it as it is harmful. The "red bull" drink is considered an energy drink. Some people have had to go to the emergency room for overdosing on it. The caffeine in that drink and other energy drinks is so intense. Doctors have been misled to believe that the patients were overdosing on drugs. Only after getting back the results from these patients' tests, did they find out that it was from the energy drinks. These drinks have rendered some people unconscious and some have even died from an excess of drinking. them. By all means, if you mix anything else with them, I dont' know if you will survive. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah - Psalml 68:19 Peace, Love and God Bless.

Answer 3

Benadryl will make you sleepy. Redbull will make you alert, they may be fighting one another, thus, making you feel a little "oddddd". Describe it in a little bit more detail....are you having chest pain, are you sweaty, are you dizzy, short of breathe, or are you feeling heart palpitations???. If none of those, I feel you should be fine. If you have any of these symptoms I asked you about, you should go to the nearest Emergency Room.
