Why do they work ?

I honestly don't know why Lithium works.
They just know it does.
Like many things in medicine...they stumble across a cure for one thing while investigating another.

So, a drug is working for me..and I don't know why.

That's faith, stupidity AND madness.Better than NO meds though, I know that much.
Do you know why meds work ?
Or don't work ?

Lithium is magic dust from another planet...sent to calm the tranplanted inhabitents from this magic planet...since we(the magic people) have a hard time dealing with the sluggards of Earth...we have Lithium to help ease the anxiety of having to live off our native planet...and they lived happily ever after.

Yeah, I'd like to know how and who figured out that beepers do well on anti seizures. But it makes it easy to explain to my freinds now, i just tell them that being BP is like being epileptic, but instead of flopping around on the floor, my brain can't stop my mouth from saying stupid shit because it's having a seizure. They get sudden clarity that way, and I don't get the "poor you" looks anymore.

I think I may ask to go back on lithium when I see pdoc next week. I'm on 4 meds now & I am up & down far too much to function right now. Sometimes simple is best.

you're doing pretty good at dancing yourself today.

I figured as much. I didn't have a creative comment that warranted a response like that.

It's funny you say that cos I'm finding I am going back to that in a lot of ways.Simple is best.
My psych says that too.The cocktails of drugs are very 'incentive' driven.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
