I did not have hunger pangs during the night and that felt good. I first woke up with the 7am alarm, took Levoxyl and amphetamine and then went back to sleep. Then I woke up and got up at 9, without an alarm and in a very good mood, ready to tackle the day. The way I feel now, I won't need a nap. Of course I am concerned that this good mood will spiral out of control into hypomania, but maybe skipping amphetamine on some days will prevent that. At least I know that I can always take 5mg of Zyprexa during the night and that will nip hypomania in the bud.
I need to ask the endocrinologist if it is Ok to take amphetamine and Levoxyl together. I know she generally prefers that Levoxyl be taken all alone.
