I take:
Citalopram (generic Celexa) 40mg in the am
WellbutrinXL 300mg in the pm
Gabapentin (generic Neurontin) 2x300mg pills pmIf I have coffee lately I'm buzzy and wirey. I love the rush. I get a high. I talk a lot more. I sweat more. Definitely the caffeine interacts with tne meds I'm on somehow these days in a way they did not used to before. I wonder if my system is changing. I'm now 34.

That is strange that you take the celexa AM and Wellbutrin PM. I would have done the opposite.
Caffiene definately improves my mood. The best feeling I get hits about 3-5 minautes after ingestion. It is kind of this stange feeling. The only way I can describe it as a "mature" feeling.

I get certain mood improvement too - although nothing that lasts too long. It also makes me want to poop a lot.

It's been a while since I have posted, but this caught my eye....
So I throw into the pool of questions and musings the following:
I really love coffee for a lot of reasons. And I don't do "American Dirty Dishwater" coffee. It's espresso/turkish coffee or nada ;)
What, I often wonder, is it doing to my lithium levels?
I take only 600mgs/day. I wonder if the coffee is eating it all up...
I've kind of been feeling like a bitch on wheels for the past few weeks, and I wonder if a little more lithium is necessary....thing is, I don't feel any different at 900 mgs than I do at 600mgs, so I just stay at 600.Sorry this was so long.....

Caffiene will lower your lithium leveles, but not terribly much so.
