I thought you were in charge here. But maybe it's just this old med causing ablutions of grandiosity.

In reply to "Are old meds good" I think they
can still have their place. I've known people
who have found a drug like Thorazine has
finally helped them some when the newer ones
haven't. When I worked in an ER, Patients who
came in who were very psychotic and out of
control were often given an injection of an
older drug called Haldol. I've seen it help
people calm down in about 30 minutes.

i have always been afraid of lithium but it is supposed to work well for most i have been spending the last 9 years finally getting a good cocktail of new meds abilify and lamictal that are doing great

Nobody I take healthy doses of this medication frequently

I can't even make out what it says. Don't stress over it. If DS flags it, they will let you know why (hopefully). Cheers!

Hahahahaha!!!! I always loved that one!!! I'm still trying to find the right mix!!! I'm currently on the generic form of Thorazine and the generic form of Xanax! It WAS working well; now, not so much. I'm sure the doc will be changing my meds again, when I see him on the 9th. Perhaps I'll ask him if he'll put me on the one in your Avatar!!!!
