This is strange, but if I fail to drink caffeinated tea and coffee with the WB in the morning I get drowsy. It almost seems like the coffee/tea helps more than the WB. After I eat my first meal of the day I start getting very, very, drowsy, and it seems I have to drink a lot of coffee and tea+WB doses to get through the rest of the day without nodding off. I can't gripe too much, because I am not feeling very depressed. If I was on sedative AD's I would be very irritable and hostile, so I am not going to complain.
