Hi Kat
I find that the more tired I am, the more prone I am to cataplexy. Do you find that at all?
When the caffeine wears off, because It leaves you drained, perhaps thats why you feel exhausted and like you are more prone to cataplexy.
I dont know for sure but Its just a thought.
Also, I find I cant take pro plus cos for some reason that makes me very wobbly aswell, and coffee when It wears off leaves me drained without any energy at all, then I have a brief nap and Im usually ok after that.
When I need an extra kick I drink pepsi max or energy drinks or lucozade, and for some reason they seem to be more ok.
