If you do, does it create problems with your bipolar? Our 15 y/o daughter either drinks a cup of coffee or takes one of my OTC caffeine pills each morning because she says it helps her feel better and do better in school. Her BP is pretty well controlled with Lithium and Abilify and so far, no problems. The therapist at the residential treatment center where she was diagnosed told us caffeine should be very limited. Is this amount considered small? Do you think it will be harmful for her to continue to do this?

Thanks!
