But assuming it's the caffeine, the prescription alternatives are the stimulants (methylphenidate/ritalin, or amphetamine/adderall/dexedrine). I doubt your doc would be at all willing to give you one of them for sociability, though, since it's not an indication and they're very sensitive about those meds.
