Yes, thanks very much. I will try. I am really motivated, because when I tried to be off all bipolar meds, I still needed Elavil for sleep. Well, after 6+ months I became hypomanic because Elavil, an old AD (tricyclic, pre-SSRI), switched/flipped me into hypomania. Now I am on Lithium again, doing well, but it is kind of silly because I take it to cover for Elavil, preventing another hypomania.

Well, I am thinking that if I can use these tools to at least reduce the dosage of Elavil, I can take less Lithium, which kills my thyroid. So your remissions are inspiring for me and I will try.
Thanks for this!
