my worst fear.that someone would call the fire dept & my old lover's(the man who called me & told me the right way to cut myself)company would appear to take care of the call on my street.
it happened.i was able to duck out side take a curious look go back in & shut the door.
pretty amazing.my heart wasn't even pounding.AT ALL.
oh my i love this stuff.
i'd kiss my new doc right on the mouth if he wouldn't take it the wrong way.
this is major(for me)i could care less if i was seen or if i wasn't.
just tried to renew my seroquel & realized that i don't have any refills & forgot to ask for any.
that's ok.i don't think i really need it terribly.i think he just wanted to ensure that i had a good sleep.i'm still taking a virtual pharmacy so i think it can wait till i see him in a couple of weeks.
i'm not feeling happy but it's such a releif NOT to feel agitated,only you people on this board could understand what i mean.

i SO totally know what you mean!! i started back on my lithium last night...had no choice, was getting way outta control on my mania, bad and good...but the agitation was more than I could stand. i feel better today. still not exactly happy, but its better than being down and i'm NOT agitated! i am now taking 6 meds, but if they work, i'll take 20! i'm serious...i got really really sick of cycling so fast and so hard that i am willing to put up with some weight gain if i have to, but i'm going to try really hard to control it this time.

so glad you feel so much better...

love ya

talk to your doc about it...why should you put up w/ weight gain?the topamax will help you lose weight & you are taking much more than me.
the doc also replaced my lithium with litholied.he says he also doesn't beleive in taking the generics if you can afford it.
also he prescribed the cymbalta(instead of wellbutrin)
there are alot of alternatives to lithiumaccording to my doctor(well 30 pounds later)

yeah, i can get lithobid if i want it...it might make a difference, i dunno...i've lost some of the weight and i'm going to work hard at controlling it this time...i didn't try much to control it this time...i just know how much better i feel on the lithium...

i loved cymbalta...but prozac is pretty good too...cymbalta was better though...it all makes me cycle more, so i have to stay on low doses of it, and cymbalta is pretty potent and powerful as an anti depressant.

hugs!

he swears the lithobid won't make you gain.
