Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I don't remember who was asking about Lithium, but thanks. I was reminded of how effective it was for me before I went toxic and I talked to my pdoc about resuming it y'day. He said it's been long enough (years) that I can take it again and we'll start with a low dose and monitor closely. I likely went toxic because I was on too high a dose before and wasn't being monitored carefully. So I'm hoping it will make a great difference this time around as well. I've just really lacked stability in the last year and Lithium made everything so much better the last time. I felt capable and well. I'm hoping I can get to that point again. We're adjusting meds somewhat and we'll see how this cocktail works for me. I want to feel as though I can accomplish things without being overwhelmed all the time and cycling through phases that leave me exhausted and wrecked. It's been so long since I've achieved any sort of balance and I really miss that.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
