Everything a growing bipolar needs to start a good day, used to be sex oh well. What gets you going in the am or are you one of those sickining morning people :)

thyroid meds give me a kick then i make a fabulous coffee with soy..um, save the xanax for later jitters or any stressy tasks.

Wash that mouth out with SOAP...morning people indeed! No self-respecting bipolar would ever be a morning person.
OK, my first is COFFEE..hot and black.
I take my synthroid but unlike lou2, I don't get a kick. Why not????? Is it because mine is generic?

maybe you're not taking enough??

The irony in that statement is that the 2 times doc has increased my dosage, it threw me into MANIA! I swear to god, not making this up. An entire week of ripping my eyeballs out mania. I actually had to live on seroquel. So...I no longer allow my thyroid meds to be increased, I don't care what doc thinks.

A Big Gulp cup of coffee and my Prozac. within a hour, I'm off and running.....running to nowhere that is.

I get awoken by a 5 year old boy climbing on me...I grunt and whine...get up, have coffee...lots of coffee and a cigarette. Xanax comes in handy a little later in the day when I start going through withdrawals.

300 to 600mg of caffeine, vitamins, and about an hour of vegging on the computer.

Depends on my mood, I usually drink tea

deleted_user 08/15/2008

Coffee and a cig, mandatory...

deleted_user 08/15/2008

hmm well the phone usually wakes me up in the a.m. but soon as school is back for the kids i am gonna have to buy a alarm clock that has music to it. Showers usually does the trick for me but getting to the shower is another story LOL
