No coffee on lithium?

Posted by sheilac on July 26, 2012, at 14:47:12

I really look forward and enjoy my morning coffee, but lately I feel like I am bouncing off the walls. The only thing I have done differently is stop Trileptal because it makes me so depressed.
I take 450mg Lithium a day (I think this is making me feel speedy when I drink my morning coffee)
Klonopin and 5mg xr Adderall.
I'm wondering if there isn't a better, easier anti-manic drug to take instead of lithium.
I'm afraid I'm not getting the calming effect I need. But if I drop the Adderall then I'm a mess that can focus and concentrate.
I know the answer is going up on Lithium, but I can't tolerate the side effects.
