The inability to read for any length of time has been as issue for me for quite a while. I keep forgetting to mention this to the pdoc when I go. The t tells me to do so because I probably still need slight adjustments in meds.

I think that you need to be consistent with the lithium in order to get focused. Also, Darkheart, it sounds like a little depression is creeping in. You are dealing with a lot in losing insurance and filing for benefits for the children. Good luck, and please try to remember your meds!
