Update from pdoc appt

Thanks for everyone's support on my previous post about too much Xanax. My pdoc appt went much better yesterday. She has prescribed me a very low dose of lithium as we both suspect I may be bi-polar. Anyway, she said to take the xanax if I feel I need it. I haven't taken any today. Do you think the lithium would work that fast or is it just in my head (so to speak)?

Thanks again everyone.

Good luck with the med changes, Alison. All in all this sounds a more optimistic post than in the past. Maybe the relationship with the pdoc will work out for you, two. That's really important to your success. I have never taken lithium but have see dramatic results from it in bipolar individuals. Take care & keep in touch! (((hugs))) jan

Alison, im glad to hear your appointment well. from a physiological perspective, there is no way the lithium worked this fast, but it will work soon. regardless, it's good to hear you're feeling well even if its just a placebo effect :)

Thanks Heather. I am encouraged. I will let you all know how it goes. I am still trying to figure out how I feel. I have a head cold and it's hard to tell how much of the fuzziness is from that or the meds or my "issues".

hugs
