seen doc yestrday dont see him very often.got a surprise different doc never let me know.there said there sent out letters but i dont normally open them from them.not feeling to good been on and of my meds recenlty.hoping for an episoed of hypermania not quite worked out as i would have liked.never mind.well anyway hopefully this doc will be better than my last one.weve sorted a few things out..firstly last doc i was supposed to see every month.keep an eye on me.well anyway we came to an arangement i see them when I want.so if i dont want to see them again fine or once every several months.that suits me fine.secondly hes been threw my notes and spoken to my last doc.started talking about my meds.he says its entirely up to me what you do.last doc was forever going on about meds.about taking them.this ones not.am happy with the sitution.i want to come of the lamical dosnt help my depression and the lithium.he ays going to be difficult.normally peopl taper off meds gradulay.but because i dont take mine often little bit more tricky.been perscibed lithium since i was 15.it does control my highs very well.thats the problem without it it dosnt.he stronly reccomends i do not do this same old stuff you need meds things will get worser.but my choice.the diffeerence about coming of meds this time.i can still get my meds on perscrption so i still have them if i need them.my doc wwill send a letter to my gp telling him not to perscribe any more lithium or lamical.still going to take serquel good sleeping tablet.also i cannot stay on celaxa it is dangerous being on a ant depreesent without a mood stabilzer.
