Because I'm now in the beginning stages of arthritis I want to be able to take medication to help control the pain and the inflammation. But I can't do that right now because apparently, the medications they wanted to try, even Motrin, interacts with Lithium. Is it feasible to say that I'd like to come off of Lithium and upper the Zyprexa Zydis and use the ZZ as my sole mood stabilizer if I'd have to? I'd rather chance the diabetes than not be able to take medicines.

Thanks,
Andy...
