I dont know if anyone remembers me. I have posted off and on for a while. I haven't posted in a while. I've been sick I had my gallbladder out then I got a virus which made me dehydrated which made my lithium turn toxic in my System, I almost died. I am better now. My speech is messed up, i talk funny now because of the lithium incedent. My pdoc put me on lamictil (sp) I am also on remeron and effexor..Im down to 3/4 pills a day instead of 16-Im happy about that. I've stable for a while. Im doing very well, best ive done in 6 yrs since all this started.

Incase you dont remember me or your new heres a little about me. My name is Stephanie I am now 17,I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 15...umm I live in Oklahoma.,Thats basically it.

Sorry I havent kept up with this board like I should. Things have been crazy. If things go like i plan I will now be able to post more.

Hope everyone is doing okay!

Stephanie,


I'm sorry you had such a rough time, but glad you're back and doing better now.


Your post is a REAL good reminder for those of us on Lithium , that we really have to watch anything that can get us dehydrated.
