yesterday was my pdoc appt....she had me do my lithium level last month, and had the results this time around. She said a good level for lithium is 1, and mine was 0.3. Soooooo I am way below the level she wants me to be at, so she said to give it two weeks and not miss a single dose at all period even if I have to set an alarm for it. Then I am supposed to call her in two weeks and let her know how my moods are, and then if I need it she will increase the lithium. She didnt change the Lamictal or Wellbutrin, but she gave me...um... Doxepin, because I told her I hated the Seroquel. She said the Doxepin would help me sleep. Has anyone tried that med? I had never heard of it. All in all a pretty productive visit. I think this great weather is helping out a lot. It makes me want to be outside. This is the time of year that I love Florida.

I hear ya, Rebekah on loving Florida this time of year!!! Its absolutely beautiful this morning too! 57 degrees and in the 80s today but no humidity! I love it too...wouldn't live anywhere else...(til July...)
I'm glad you had a good pdoc visit and your meds are going good. I hated Seroquel too and my pdoc gave me Risperdal instead. I go to sleep, but I'm not SEDATED feeling...I'm not groggy AT ALL, and it helps my "thoughts" too. I LOVE Risperdal. It goes a long way towards helping me stabilize. Not quite there yet, but I hit 50 mgs of Lamictal last night, yay!!! Two weeks and I can go to 100 mgs!!! I really like Lamictal a lot.
Anyway, good to hear from you!!!
Love and Hugs,
