I have just finished my fourth shift this week. I only usually do two so have been a bit knackered. Last night was fine cos I was in bed all day yesterday, recovering from the night shift before.
On my way to work, I usually pop in the shop and get some supplies…some sucky sweets, pop, maybe a magazine. On Weds night I bought a can of Rock Star Juice…yes it is actually named so. It says on the tin that it is for people who lead exhausting lifestyles. I surmised that I fit this particular criterion.
At 3am, I started to wilt a bit and therefore drank aforementioned juice. It did perk me up considerably. When I read the can afterwards, I realised why. It contains all sorts of vitamins and fruity stuff and also the caffeine equivalent to 5 cups of coffee.
When this caffeine induced high started to wear off, I felt like DEATH! it was dreadful. I was having tremors, hot and cold flushes and not knowing whether I wanted to puke, faint or cry. Awful. I shan’t be buying this witches brew again. In future I shall search for a can of “Student Nurse working to earn money to see her through uni, yet doesn’t want to experience Parkinsonian symptoms..thankyou very much”. i think they sell it in Netto….

I think I would like Rock Star Juice.
A lot.
The mistake you made was you let it wear off. I think, at that point, I would down another. I bet that would do it. No withdrawal.
