So sorry you are having a difficult time. Do you think it is just due to your period or is it hypomania? I do know that as I've gotten older my PMS and beginning of period symptoms have gotten worse. Can you leave work early?

Well, I caved and had a diet Coke. Not too jittery and the headache is gone but I also ate lunch too and that may have helped. Even just 1 cup of cup has been triggering jitteriness and hypomanic-like symptoms for me lately. It was not my morning meds causing it like I feared. I REALLY don't want to go off Cymbalta (which is an AM med) b/c it helps so much with my depressive symptoms and also with the tingling I get associated with neuropathy AND fibromyalgia symptoms so it's like a 3-in-1 pill for me.

I really don't understand why coffee is causing me issues now because I used to be able to drink like 4-5 cups of coffee a day without anything like anxiety and jitters. I did order some decaf K-cups. I know decaf coffee is not completely caffeine free but I looked it up and decaf coffee has 0-7 mg caffeine/cup whereas regular coffee has 70-140 mg/cup (and for the Starbucks Kcup that I use it's around 130 mg/cup so on the higher end). So decaf is a lot less caffeine in 1 jolt, and at least it kind of tastes like real coffee. Diet Coke has 46 mg caffeine a can.

B/c I had to order deodorant for daughter along with the K-cups, at least I'm getting same day delivery on Amazon Prime for spending $25 or more. I don't plan on having any decaf coffee today, but I'll try it out at breakfast tomorrow. Unless I'm really, really good and manage to stick to herbal tea!
