First I would like to thank Mari for sugesting lamictal.  My med provider is writing me an rx for a low dose of it and go from there.  She's also prescibing me a low dose of Clananzapam.  Between my provider and the pharmacy, it is taking awhile to fill.

Hi Jenn....so glad to read that you will be switched off lithium!!! Yes, lamictal is started at 25mg and built up...I think my highest dosage was 125mg. I think I tend to go towards bp 2, mostly depressed so I really hope this will help you...I also took zoloft as well.

Wondering what your kidney level is and if you've been given any other advice as far as keeping your health using 'food'. Another site that might help you better understand kidney disease and dialysis, where you can answer questions, is Davita.com.

Wishing you the Best Jenn <3

Mari, they told me to dring a lot of water. I wasn't giving any other diet advice. My follow up visit is on the 21st.

    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.
