I have an appointment with Dr Ratchet tomorrow. I have written the following notes:


“One. I lost my job on February 1. They said I made too many mistakes so they had to let me go. I am devastated 


Two. I am still going through severe with drawl from the lamictal, Seroquel and Celexa. Things got so bad the other day again that I went to see my regular doctor because I could not see you until today. He put me on prolanolol To help with the withdrawals. 


I need for you to please help me I don’t think the lithium is working I just want to feel better I want my life back again please help me

It was another HUGELY frustrating appointment. He increased my lithium. He won’t try any other meds. He says that he wants to wait until I have reached a therapeutic level on the Lithium. I am stuck. I wish there were someone else I could see but there is no one else I can see. I don’t know what to do.

    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.
