Well, it sure feels meds resistant; i've struggled with emotional and behavior issues since I was a kid. When I was in Middle school i was highly unstable due to both my social anxiety and my abandonment fears, potentially being BP probably didn't help things. This continued to a lesser extent into High School, and I swung in and out of deep depression in College where I couldn't even move or get out of bed in the morning. You can easily say i've struggled with sometimes deep depression throughout my life, and only now have I developed tools to help me manage it on my own.
Right now, i'm fed up playing pharmacy with pdoc. Like i said, i'm not apposed to going back on them at a later date if I find that I do need them, and I build up my resolve again to play this cat and mouse game of guessing which meds will work. But right now in my life, it's not working. Frankly, i'm 24, male, single, i have been an emotional wreck for 6 months now, and 3 months of failed drug therapy. I've learned a lot about my self in the last 6 months; stuff that will help me handle this on my own.
So i stand by it, and already started reducing my lithium. But tomorrow, I should be off of that. And i don't see harm in quitting lamitical at the same time; it's only been a week on it.
