I'm just learning about bipolar since I was recently diagnosed and everywhere I see how stimulants trigger hypo/mania. I also drink coffee every day, though just one cup, I don't think that ever triggered me.

I remember a time ago, when I was diagnosed with just BPD, I was a bit stable, but bored out of mind. I wasn't really depressed,  but nothing gave me pleasure.

So my psych at the time prescribed me Concerta and, later, Vyvanse. It didn't really work for me, still felt nothing.

So I'm wondering why, do I really have bipolar? I was also taking Lithium, Lamotrigine and either Latuda or Quetiapine. I don't remember. They were relative high doses. So maybe these meds prevented the hypomanic episode?
