My meds make me really drowsy and I find myself drinking coffee from the time I wake up to 11 AM and then switch to diet cherry pepsi or coke. So basically I drink caffeine all f*cking day to stay awake. I just went to drugs.com and listed all the meds I take and printed out all the interactions. It basically says that all drugs and drug interactions cause drowsiness and difficulty concentrating which I do also have difficulty with sometimes (I have hard time focusing on watching tv or a movie but that is besides the point). Ugh.

What are some tips and tricks you guys do to help combat the sluggishness and drowsiness during the day?

Note: I sleep 8 to 9 hours a night avg.
