That is probably the first time I have ever said I wish it were Monday, but I do. I have an appointment with my psych about hopefully taking me off of Lithium and trying a new med. I have had so many problems with it. I'm thirsty all the time. This makes me have to pee CONSTANTLY. I literally get up every two hours in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I'm sick of the blood work every ten days. The last time I got blood work the "efficient" lab lost it. Next, I have even worse acne than when I was a teenager and I was on Accutane then. I have a disgusting taste in my mouth all the time and bad breath. Lastly, and the last straw, if I have now developed hand tremors. In the midst of all this, would I say my Bipolar is well managed? No, I am still not where I want to be, and as you can see on my signature, I am taking 1800 mg of Lithium a day (6 pills). So over it. Now though, I have to wonder what will work for me without a ton of side effects. I like quick and easy answers. However, my Bipolar II does not seem to want to cooperate.
