bipolar and caffeine

Candy,

Are you absolutely sure your thyroid levels are all right? You are going through what I'm going through because they took me off my synthroid for a month to do tests.

Hugs,

Jan, I asked for the results of the other stuff she had tested when she told me the results of the lithium level. I have to trust her, I guess!

In the last two weeks I've come down on and then stopped one med, started and upped one completely new one, and upped a longtime one. I think it's just bad chemistry. I just wish there were a quicker way to fix it!

But I came home sick from work today and spent all day in bed, so at least I know today's issue isn't caffeine, because I didn't go get any.

The chance of me cutting out coffee is... oh wait, there is no chance.

My Trileptal tends to make me very tired during the day. Coffee helps. Also, coffee is a great comfort to me at times-- I love drinking a cup at home.

I guess sometimes it makes me more agitated-- but not often enough to ever entertain the thought of not drinking it.
