my 8am class is killing me, obviously because it's early but i've also had generally worse fatiuge, it started when i began getting really sharp pain in my forearm and numbness, anyways...
i'm not going to ask for something like provigil, but i'm just wondering if any of you know of an energy source that's better then drinking tons of caffeine, i take a b-complex vitamin
have any of you tried tapping, green tea, or just drinking more water?
i found a recipe for a 'green monster', it's supposed to work as well as coffee, here's the recipe:
In a juicer, combine 2-4 leaves of kale, 2-4 leaves o romaine lettuce, 1 inch ginger root, half a lemon (with the seeds removed), one apple (cored), and a clove of garlic (optional for cleansing and boosting immune system).
sounds so gross, but i'd do it for more energy! any suggestions would be much appreciated!

get some fresh ginseng grate 1/4-1/2 tsp add lemon juice (the bottled kind is good enough) & honey
drink it every day in the morning
it is not caffeine but does have some kick they are now adding it to energy drinks.
Honey is very high in B vitamins so it helps as well
Good luck
So now I drink tea (caffeinated) and that works for me. I can drink a lot more without it bothering me. My stomach really used to bother me when I drank coffee so tea turns out to be so much better than coffee. I recommend it (either black or green tea). I hear that it also works against cancer.
Other than that, i cannot imagine doing the lettuce, ginger root, lemon, etc. concoction. Let us know how that turns out for you.
How come you can't use provigil? In the old days, we had amandine for fatigue and it is very cheap and is a prescription but it is cheap. What about that? Sorry can't help much else. Don't have any suggestions. But I will ask my buddy who works for a vitamin shop who knows all the energy substitutes and will get back to you.
