Antidepressants, benzodiazepines, Buspar when it comes back in stock, maybe some ambien for sleep and quetiapine when things get really bad
 
Caffeine 200mg, vitamin d3 5000u, magnesium 250mg, bcomplex with b6 + b12, high epa fish oil, multivitamin with most (~30) vits/minerals, gasX... hmm high blood pressure meds too

I love how you add gasx to your list. Many of long retail days has this been necessary.

Um all multivitamins have high doses. Take a look at this label for gnc vitamins. If you are taking any of them chances are you are getting a huge dose.
I agree that many brands of multivits have ridiculously high levs, but there are multivits that aren't that crazy. Deva Vegan is an example, where every vitamin is 100% or less.
 
That's just the loading dose for me.
better to use Vodka as the loading dose and then use beer to stay at steady state. Seriously I would not recommend alcohol to anyone. Living hopelessly I was witness to many alcoholics and that drug destroys lives.
 
Testosterone injects subq once a week to feel young and enjoy women again.

IV Prednisone to create emulated anger to feel alive again.

Adderall to have energy again.
 
I once worked a shift with 3 pharmacists who were all smokers, they took turns going outside

Amazing isn't it? There was once a time when we had triple overlap
You realize there are still pharmacies that staff 4+ pharmacists right? look at super busy pharmacies doing 3,000+ scripts a day in busy metro areas.

Is there really any pharmacy doing 3000+ scripts a day? I have my doubts....at a certainly point, people are just running over each other and in would make more sense to open up a sister pharmacy. At one time, Walgreens had 2 stores directly across from each other in Chicago (they probably still do, I just have been that way for several years to say for sure.)
 
Vitamin D 1000 is probably useful, especially if you're a pale zombie living where the sun shines only a few days a year. All other supplements are probably a wash. Also, unless it is USP certified (Nature Made and Kirkland I think?) the dosing accuracy standards are garbage, so who even knows how much you're taking of what you think you're taking.

As for actually making it through the day: black coffee, dextroamphetamine, bupropion, citalopram. Downers and hypnotics make me too stupid to do the job safely.

I'm a student and also have a part-time work at a local cafe. Indeed it's non-stop craziness. I drink a lot of coffee and this gives me enough energy to survive through the day. Lately, I've been more tired and stressed than usual and I looked for some supplements that would help me deal with that. I found a stress relief formula from Prorganiq Health but I haven't tried it yet, so I can't express myself about it. I hope it will be good enough to help me get through this crazy period in my life.

Get more sleep. Take less caffeine later in the day.
 
The days when I have taken Sudafed, I felt much more alert and energetic during work.

An “off-lebel” indication..

You can get Bronkaid or Primatene behind the counter without a script and that is true ephedrine if you seek energy. Don't take if you have a preexisting heart condition or BP issues, of course.

Sudafed is just a diastereomer of ephedrine. In fact it is more effective, not less. So if you are looking for a pick-me-up Sudafed would stronger. But in reality, you can only screw with nature so long. The answer remains. Get more sleep.
 
Got it! Do the following while working pharmacy:

1.) take amphetamine as a baseline

2.) drink coffee throughout the day for hydration

3.) pop Sudafed when needed for additional pick me up

4.) puff Bronkaid for that immediate need for a boost..

What could go wrong?

Post up evidence/sources please.

Last time I checked, the effect of pseudoephedrine was considerably less than ephedrine.
