Whats up. Have any of you guys ever taken any of the non-ephedra based diet pills? If so, have they made you manic? Oh, and do they mix bad with mood-stabilizers and anti-depressants?? Just wondering. Thanks. :)

Better watch those items. They could cause mania. My wife wants to use them but her dr is agianst it.
:confused:

ohhhhhhhh yea, im pretty much a genius...and there isn't even a hint of sarcasm in any of that ;) . These diet pills, i thought would be ok because of the lack of ephedra. It is kinda weird how they are though. It's like a ton of caffeine, like a big rush...i guess hypomania-esque. Then suddenly in the late afternoon, i get super pissy. Then, a little later, i get sad. The right before bed, i go back to normal. Anyway, i wish this bipolar stuff wasnt an issue, because these pills are really helping me, and i have been having some crazy body image problems lately and i need these pills to help me. wow. yea, im not that bright i guess. Hasn't anybody else felt like this? Like they knew something was bad for them, but they still wanted to do it, like, over and over???

I don't take diet pills, but I always drink coffee and I'm so hooked on cigarettes. even though I know these things are extremely bad for me. I smoke almost 2 pks a day and I think the cigs cause my ativan not to work so well. Also I love coffee and when I drink it in the afternoon it keeps me up all night. Sometimes I feel that these things are very counterproductive with my meds, and the bi-polar issue. Also cigs are about the worst habit, anyone could have:(. When it comes to anything that could speed up my metabolism, like those diet supplements without ephedra, I'm afraid I'd get manic and I won't even use antidepressents. But cigerattes and coffee, go figure. :bouncing:
