Hamster that's pretty darn good! I am a bit envious of that, Lithium didn't treat me as kind. More like I kept forgetting to pay my bills on time, or the the right bills, or right amounts. I think you deserve just as much credit for your credit as lithium. But I am glad it was able to help you so much. I do think it is a pretty good med for Bipolar, it was always my first choice, it's too bad it has such a bum rap. |
I totally agree about bum rap! When I was dx'd (incorrectly at first as II) in 2006, my p-doc gave me a choice of Lithium, Depakote, Tegretol. I was irrationally scared of the word "Lithium". I noticed that Depakote also reduces migraines and decided to kill two birds at once. Well, I killed only the migraines, and that to the tune of a huge weight gain and bad hand tremor. Depakote did absolutely nothing against mania, and in fact my worst spending happened on Depakote (the ****** doctor was oblivious to that fact). As a result, I got on Lithium only in 2009, post a suicide attempt that wrecked my life. But - I am glad I am finally on it.
Did not realize that Canada has pretty much the same credit system - you have credit history, credit score, credit bureaus, everything?
