You can talk to the doc about the costs for blood tests and see if the doc can recommend something cheaper/a sliding scale)

That's a great idea. We'll see. I'm interested in Lithium, I'm just struggling under bills right now, and I am actually in debt from a blood test taken nearly a year ago....went to collection and my credit must already be shot.
When I first starting seeing my current psychiatrist she wrote a list of possible medications for me to research, and one of them was lithium. Of course, at the time I just perceived myself as depressed and I threw that suggestion away. But now I know more about its antidepressant property....and, obviously, was diagnosed bipolar.
If it's possible to take a low enough dose for blood tests to be necessary that would be great.
