Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Hi Dont give up. Your body will get use to it and you wont feel so sleepy all the time. I think I have built up a tollerance to it. I can take zyrtec and benedryl and I can still function. I know its hard but you need the meds. Good luck Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 I try to get enough sleep at night. I rarely stay up late. I do often take a nap in the afternoon, but that is not convenient to do when you work. I think eating certain foods will make the afternoon "tiredness" less. ...anyone...? I think fruit in the am and protein with carbs at noon and no sugar might help. The sugar wakes you up but then inevitably makes you "crash." I know the proper diet can help. I am not quite sure of the best combination for you. I think little snacks of peanuts (protein) help also. Any other diet ideas gang? ...lol...
