People respond differently to coffee. I used to drink three pots of coffee every day. That was before I was diagnosed bipolar and looking back I did have some symptoms of bipolar then, hypomania most. But for some reason when my body hit menopause everything changed and I had wider mood swings to severe mania/depression and then I became more sensitive to coffee. Before menopause I could drink coffee right before I laid down and I went right to sleep no problem. But now caffeine interferes with sleep.

So basically I am saying that caffeine and bipolar symptoms are very individualized and you can't judge what works for someone else, you need to know yourself. The increased dosage of meds seems to be troublesome for your functioning so explain your change in symptoms to your pdoc. He doesn't know if you don't tell him. Good luck and feel better soon.
