A friend of mine is on two different medicines for her bipolar disorder. Her medication dosage has increased constantly, and it has me wondering about some things about the medication.
A friend of mine is on two different medicines for her bipolar disorder. Her medication dosage has increased constantly, and it has me wondering about some things about the medication.
This particular friend smokes cigarettes on a regular basis. In addition, she constantly drinks caffeine shots. I know that cigarettes are unhealthy on their own and that caffeine is a drug. However, I am wondering how either or both can affect her body and mind along with the mood stabilizing drugs.
Could the caffeine and/or cigarettes have anything to do with her medication dosage being increased?
Thank you

I usually have 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and a large glass of ice-tea in the afternoon. My doctor advised me to reduce my caffeine intake. I have been making 1/2 decaf and 1/2 regular coffee (mix) but I’m getting headaches.

Angela asked:
I have a really bad pepsi addiction. Well, more it’s that I am afraid of getting a caffeine headache. The trouble is is that I also have migraines. I’ve tried to stop soda before, however I got caffeine headaches that most of the time turned to a full blown migraine. Which puts me out of commission. I have two toddlers, so I don’t have time to be out with a migraine. Any suggestions other than caffeine pills? The caffeine pills don’t seem to work and are awfully expensive when trying to compensate with them.

I heard coffee/caffeine puts the body in some kind of emergency mode,since our body was not meant to consume caffeine.This “emergency mode” is due to the system trying to get rid of the caffeine;therefore not absorbing the important and essential nutrients from food.

I am addicted to caffeine and I want to know how much I can drink in a day. I drink the 375ml diet coke, I drink between 4 to 10 cans a day depending on how stressed out I am. I have tried giving it up but I got headaches, get very stressed and anxious but as soon as I drank a mouthful I felt it all lift.
