I have to warn you that it's a very dark movie. I hadn't heard about Jared Leto. Gosh, I can't even keep up with pop culture. Is that good or bad? lol
I have a huge problem with migraines, so that's why I have to be careful with caffeine. I don't know what the deal is, but I start getting the withdrawl headache a little earlier each day, until I hit the point where I wake up in the wee hours, take a caffeine pill, and go back to sleep. And I have to keep escalating the amount of caffeine I take. One of the great tragedies of my life. I have these longing dreams about frappucino <sigh>
> I do have to keep taking classes, BUT nothing like the intensive one I just finished. They're more like support groups that meet once a week for an hour-and-a-half. I should be able to remain awake for those! LOL!

> Let me know what your pdoc lets you try for YOUR drowsiness. I also must have caffeine ASAP in the morning, but since you're waking up with headaches, it can't be the caffeine doing it.

> In fact, caffeine actually helps headaches - a friend of mine gets bad migraines and a cup or two of coffee helps her.

> It's when you go off caffeine that you can get withdrawal headaches!

> No, I have not even heard of the movie Requiem for a Dream but it sure sounds interesting, possibly for renting! Sadly, Jared Leto has a *real life* drug abuse problem.

> Keep me posted on how you do next week. GOOD LUCK!
