Stay away from stimulants. In general for anyone, but far moreso if you have bipolar disorder.

To the original poster, though i may have written something to you before, I use an alarm and set a second one for half hour later. Then i KNOW I must get up. Sometimes i can snooze, but I usually find that it just pisses me off and I wake up more stressed and tired. :/

Oddly, this sounds familiar. I think my cravings were PMS related and because the food was there. They started to go away though for the most part after a few days. And prior to this, I was eating like you. Partly depressionm then partly when I went on Intuniv for ADHD. Yeah, I do not particularly like that side effect so I don't know what I'm gonna do. I am happy right now, but I am supposed to be going off my antidepressant and just stick to the Latuda for bipolar, but I worry about depression, considering I dip low every month with PMS. :/
