You think that with help?
My lithium has apparently been an issue for a couple of months, so no. But if it makes them feel better ...
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
It's not good enough really love.... I hope when your body is more sorted that you go out for blood...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

Hopefully splitting the lithium dose will enable your body to deal with it better

Rough. On top of how I’m feeling, I’m also now dealing with changes in 3 different meds.....

And you know what? I have every faith in you getting through this cos you are freaking awesome. I know it’s hard right now and everything sucks but if anyone can get through a tough patch like this my money would be on you from the start. You’ll get through this. I wish there was something I could do to help.
Then pace, rest, shout and scream at me if it helps... This is beyond tough...

Hi Paula I’m sorry that you are having a tough time with new meds/ combination of meds. I thought that lithium levels varied from person to person and are ‘set’ depending on what illness you are treated for. I always thought that levels for bipolar were higher than for severe depressive disorder. My last blood test in April was 0.9 which I thought was a bit on the high side but still in the therapeutic range. I’m guessing that your therapeutic range and dose are different. If it is or has been a few times on the high side then they have a responsibility to drop it a bit. The hot weather does not help and the new drug which is probably pushing the levels up. I know when I’ve messed up the lithium dose I’ve felt a bit weepy. When do they review this ?
4 weeks. I’ve been on lithium for 13 years and have never had a problem before
