Thanks, Dol. Now 'm not nearly as afraid as I was. I'll tell her I'll take the lithium. I had flatly refused, which was a first for me in almost six years of therapy.

Just three days of trileptal made me so hungry I was amost ready to chew on the cabinents! I ate more food in those three days than I would have normally in a week! It was amazing. It must be about out of my system today because I'm not hungry and my face wasn't swollen this morning.

I'll keep plenty of water on hand for the lithium and I need to get off caffiene again anyway. (I was off it but with the med changes and colitis, I have the energy of a tired snail, so I indulged in caffiene.) 'Most boo on my part.

Again, thank you so much! You have helped me feel so much better.

Many, many hugs,

Jan
