I’ve been stable a long time and haven’t had a true manic episode in years. This week I cut back drinking Pepsi. I was drinking an insane amount… It’s my comfort food/drink. I went from 2.5L to 1-0.5L a day. At first I felt great. I’m losing weight and I have more energy. But the intense anger and agitation taking me over is hard to ignore. I don’t feel like myself. I feel the closest to manic I have in a long time. Has anyone else encountered this after a diet change, or cutting back sugar or caffeine? Maybe I shouldn’t have cut back so much so fast… I’m hoping to stop this mood shift before it becomes full on mania.
