Hi there. So, I'm really struggling with my narcolepsy. I was prescribed medication for it but it gave me a panic attack last year and I wound up in the hospital. So, I don't take it. For the past year, I substituted the medication with rockstars and monsters. Unfortunately, I grew very dependant on those drinks to the point that if I went ONE morning without one I had withdrawal. And I'm not joking. I get severe headaches that last all day long, shivers, body aches, and I can't get out of bed. I'll sleep all day long feeling sick. When I realized I had an addiction to the energy drinks, I turned to coffee mixed with hot cocoa. It helped for a while, but I also get acid reflux so, now I'm on a coffee break. I recently have been trying MIO energy. Seems to be GREAT, but I ran out and tried this new monster energy drink that I thought was going to be more like Gatorade. Literally have been sick all day today because I didn't have caffeine to the point that my body started breaking down and I was having a hard time functioning at work, I had a blistering headache all day, and my drive home was...scary to put it simply. Does anyone have any remedies they take to help with their narcolepsy that doesn't make you caffeine dependant?
anyone in the group?
