Just worked out. Not me, it.

It just worked out. Something came together and now there is something to look forward to. A short thrill of violation, followed by focus, followed by flotation. Cryptic is the nature of nature, as are these words.

Take Vyvanse? Eat and Drink for Greater Efficacy

Just made a quick post on the main blog about Vyvanse and food/fluids. It's just a reminder about the value of healthy eating and drinking habits concerning Vyvanse treatment. You can't abolish your tolerance to Vyvanse  (amphetamine tolerance builds quite rapidly and cannot really be reversed) but you can do certain things to help the drug work better, and make Vyvanse a less toxic experience for your mind and body to handle. Vyvanse is an amphetamine. When you ingest amphetamine, you are ingesting what many refer to as "speed".

The slang term speed, a reference to amphetamine drugs like Vyvanse and Adderall, is used regularly for a reason. By taking amphetamine drugs you are speeding up the mind and the body. You are kicking things into overdrive. No, I'm not referring to taking 3x your prescribed dosage to achieve a high. Amphetamine, and more specifically Vyvanse, speeds up our metabolic processes at therapeutic dosages.

Recognizing this fact, it's easy to see that food and drink matters. The foods we eat and the fluids we drink help keep the mind and body running at a healthy pace. We all know foods we eat act as energy sources. So, if you are going to be revving up your body's engine, so to speak, then you better have the fuel to make everything run smoothly.

Why are food, drinks, and Vyvanse on the mind? Simply put, in the past, I have not eaten well, nor did I replenish my fluids well, on quite a few occasions. I want to get the word out that Vyvanse does not work well when you aren't eating and drinking healthily. As a matter of fact, disregarding food and fluids is a quick way to ruin your physical and mental health. Just remember, eat and drink on Vyvanse, and do so regularly.

Just lost in thoughts. Let time pass me by.

Another Cigarette After NAC Supplements and @TreatBipolar

It just has to happen. I think it's more deserved than the average cigarette that burns my lungs away. I created a relatively in depth Squidoo lens called "Why Buy an NAC Supplement to Treat Bipolar Disorder?". It covers the basics of treating bipolar with NAC, why these supplements shouldn't be ignored by bipolar individuals, and the best NAC supplements to buy. I also finally got around to creating a Twitter account for The Bipolar One. Please follow me @TreatBipolar for daily bipolar news and updates.

Winter is progressing

Winter is always a rough time for me. This year, it's moved along quite fast. This is a good thing. My brain seems to feed off of nature, in a very intense manner. My moods cycle with the seasons. I feel dead and sluggish in the winter, the season of depression, and I feel more upbeat and alive. The sun is a huge factor, no doubt about it.

The back and forth of a bipolar mind

This is one of the things I hate most about bipolar disorder. It's the mental ping pong match that goes on in the head. There isn't always a ping pong match in play, but when there is, it's pure mental exhaustion. If you've read anything I've blogged about then you know I'm all over the place. I'll be set on doing one thing, and then the next day, it's all fallen down. You just need to move along I suppose. It doesn't make sense half the time but if you keep on moving you'll end up somewhere and some point.

Combined Vyvanse and L-Tyrosine Supplement

Maybe a slight change in cognition but nothing major. Tyrosine supplements are much more useful for the comedown phase and restoration of depleted dopamine stores. These are all my thoughts on the subject of trying out this combo.
