I had a Pdoc like that, not regarding the lithium but regarding the antidepressant. It's not good. It might be worth writing a not to the old one to inform, if you don't want to report him for some form of malpractice. If you don't Ok too, but keep in mind he will be pullung the same thing with patients who aren't as savy as you.
((((((((GRAVYYYY)))))))) got the same problems in my family, but they watch me closely here. Take care, and I hope it works out on the lower levels! Huggs
