So, a while back, my wife and I missed a train and had to drive 2,300 miles in about 35 hours - I drove about 24 hours straight, she took over for about 5 hours, while I napped on and off, then I finished.
It was on this trip that I discovered Five-Hour Energy.
I have pretty severe ADHD. The normal dosage of Ritalin is about 10-20mg a day. 30mg a day is fairly high. I was on 110mg a day. I wasn't comfortable with that dosage, so have been looking for an alternative.
Five-Hour Energy seemed to keep the ADHD symptoms under control better than most of the meds I have tried.
I started taking 2-3 a day, and for a few weeks everything was going great - I felt almost as balanced as I did when I was on Ritalin.
Annual checkup time came along, and my doctor told me if I kept taking 2-3 of these a day, my liver would shut down.
I was hoping someone might explain to me why that would happen and, more importantly, offer up a suggestion for a different, healthier (ideally, natural) stimulant I could try.
Thanks.
