Maybe you don't take the lithium cuz it's not the right answer for your body/mind? Or do you want to take it, but just forget? Have you ever tried add meds, could you possibly have add also? Sorry if we already talked about it before... I think we did but can't remember. Ugghhh I hate not remembering stuff. Since I have add and bpII dx's, for me, it's mostly important to address the add cuz those related symptoms trigger me into hypo or depressions big time. Does that make sense? You'd think it'd be the other way around, because bp is more serious and life threatening. But the add is more treatable is what I think I'm trying to say.
