    I didn’t expect to get randomly tired and I wasted an entire day I had off because I took them at 11am then I felt like a 350lb sack of potatoes and I just laid on my bed for the rest of the day.

    Also no visuals or anything fun just sleepy.

      Question: does caffeine work for you?

      Cause now that I have more than just me as a poll, I’m allergic to benadryl, resistant to all anesthesia basically, and caffeine doesn’t make me hyper just speeds up my heart rate.
      I think most of those I am alone in but maybe it’s brain chemistry from like depression or ADHD?

        Interesting; I was in hospital last year, opioid pain relief doesn’t work for me. They tried a few times at increasing dosages and it just does nothing.

        Paracetamol works well, they tried ketamine and I told them to stop because it made me feel terrible.

          Yeah it’s awful to figure out what to do when the normal pain killers don’t work. Woke up during a surgery cause it lasted just long enough for them to get started.

          but yeah if you have the enzymic issue I have increased dosages don’t help and doctors will question you over and over again as if we have more information about it. I don’t get how it works either but it seems to be genetic, most of my immediate family has it too.

        I drink coffee a lot it just makes me feel locked the fk in but really it’s only the first 2 cups and after that I drink it for the taste

        It keeps me up if I drink it past 7pm so I guess it works ? Doesn’t make me more awake just unable to sleep and still tired

          Hmm that’s more than me. I don’t bother with coffee cause it literally just gives me palpations. Still sounds like a stimulant to me.

          So must be something else than ADHD.
          Thanks for answering!
