I am helped by stimulants (ritalin) but there's something about coffee.....

It doesn't do as much for me as it used to, but I used to feel hypomanic on coffee.

Lately, I have only been sleeping about 4 hrs a night because I have no idea why, perhaps anxiety, perhaps the disruption of going to pee so much cuz of the lithium, and not being able to go right back to sleep, but when really tired in the am, I have been having coffee again (I had quit a few months ago). It helps a bit, but not enough and I think it is making me irritable later in the day.

I have been drinking coke at work lately, out of thirst and need for cafeine, and craving. This is a huge mistake to get into the habit, because with lithium I need to drink a ton, and I should stick to water or I will gain more weight.

I find the ritalin helps to be alert, and when it wears off, I am a bit foggy.
