So I need to schedule an appointment because my Lithium ran out & I have to see her to get it refilled. I still have episodes on my Lithium. I'm hypomanic, I wonder if another drug would help me better?
Or if I should just remain on only Lithium? Now I'm starting to feel like do I even have a point.

If any of you are hypomanic, what Rx cocktail is working for you?[/quote]

What is working for me? I take 3 mood stabllizers right now. I have used others in the past but they were changed. They stopped working. But I have always had lithium on board. Right now it is only 300mgs but without it I immeadiately notice the change.
Blue October is right, you have to have lithium level taken often. If they are fluctuating it isn't stabalizing you you need dosage adjusted.
I do not understand your cost issue with Lithium. It is cheap. A lot cheaper than the other drugs you listed.

Can you appeal to your ins. co. about necessity of another drug in your treatment?
