So I am staying on my meds at the same doses. She thinks it isn't a Lithoum allergy because it would be more acute and severe. She says it sounds more like asthma, so I will have to make an appointment with my md to see what's going on there.

When I was talking about things to her, I never said that I wanted to go off my meds. I just said that I was having the symptoms and what her take on it was. She said, "Well, if you want to you can go off the Lithium, but I guarantee you will go back into depression and i will have to refer you to someone for ECT."

I found her tone of voice vaguely threatening, but I told her that if she didn't think the Lithium was causeing the symptoms that I would stay on it.

I also told her about some other issues I was having last week to make sure I didn't need a dose adjustment or anything. She said, "If you're trying to scare me, here is me looking scared." She then showed me a completely stoic face.

I told her I wasn't trying to shock her or anything, that I was just trying to figure out where the thoughts were coming from and if I needed dosage adjustments. After that, she said that if we had to we could get me into the hospital. Again, I found her voice vaguely threatening.

I told her that I am med compliant 100%. I won't make a change without express permission from her, although I do get frustrated by meds and side effects, etc.

What was with the tone today? I am starting to feel a little uncomfortable with her. I am starting to feel as if she will use threats to get me to comply. I don't need threats.
