Also start finding resources for healthcare before you change states so you can geta leg up without a med lag. Ask your current Pdoc to give you a 3-6 month supply of meds so you won't go without before finding a new Pdoc.
I wanted to go on Celexa but my pdoc was afraid it would cause mania (it dod last spring but i was only taking it). I'm taking Lithium as well so I thought a AD would be fine. I think Lamictal is working a little for me or I'm manic. I've been going laundry, packing, iron and running errands. Since winter i have not had energy or motivation to do numerous things or bacoc simple things. i found some Trazadone I was prescribed last fall. I took two at 2 AM when I couldn't get back to sleep. I'm be sure to tell my pdoc I'm having problems with sleep.

Thanks for the reminders. I have beenin contact w/ a mental health agency. I also spoke to my pdoc abt getting mea few months supply of meds.
