The main thing is don't stop trying..... there is something out there that will work, or a combination of things....

My case manager said we just have to find the right coctail. That term just made me smile.
And for some reason I can be so much more assertive with the case manager in the room with me. I thank her for coming in with me. It was a huge help.
And I think the doctor is starting to realize that I'm not a stable at he/we thought I was. Cause I think when he started me on the lithium I still had some invega in my system. Now I'm on nothing but Zoloft and Lithium. He upped both of them. Zoloft from 50 to 75 mg/daily and Lithium from 600 to 900 mg/daily. And he wants to see me back sooner.
I'm so chalking this up as step forward!
