I dunno about Lithium, but generic Lamictal if you ever need it is available at Costco pharmacies (which by law they have to let you use) for like under $40. I think at CVS they bill my insurance like tons more.. why I don't get it. Drug costs are crazy. I can't be on lithium because of my thyroid and liver. :-/ I honestly would like to try it though if my liver was good and my thyroid was gone.

welcome to the board...i am on lithium and it works for me...hope you find the support you need here on this wonderful board! ! !

thanks everybody.. i do seem to be doing better. level.. actually enjoying my twins, not getting nuts over the slightest whine or fite! and actually being able to sit still long enough to have a conversation with them or play a game! did any of ya'll have a hard time sitting still for long before u got on your meds?? and it seems i have lost my craving for beer. last nite after the kids were in bed i wanted to give myself a pedicure and drink a couple of beers, but i had no taste for the beer, even tho i wanted one.. does that make sense?? odd!
so, if i stay on my meds, will that keep me from having the "episodes" that made me seek help in the first place??
