Yes, Darkeyes, thanks. I'll give the doc a call. We do have the right to ask questions!

My son is 28! I should have said that at the beginning.
His mania "broke" in Feb. of last year, on his 27th birthday. He was diagnosed 2 mths later. It's been 16 mths now.

He seems to have Some control. He says he can get high(er) at will but is aware of how it can spiral out of control. He also says that he can push the delusions back somewhat by ignoring them and not playing with them (it's entertaining- especially the hallucinations)

I do know the doc is concerned about increasing the Lithium because of summer heat, sweating, exercise etc. making it toxic, and 200mg Serequel is all he can tolerate. The other anti-psychotic meds were worse.

But I will ask. Even though my son is a big grown-up, he is shy when talking to the doc and like a child then.
