I posted here a short while ago about high blood calcium being caused by my lithium. Well... the pdoc has decided to wean me off lithium fairly quickly (8 weeks). I'll be on epilim and zyprexa then as the only mood stabilisers.
The thing is... I'm scared. I was on lithium and epilim for five years and stable. But at the beginning of this year, I had a manic episode following a hysterectomy and other stresses. So then the zyprexa was added too.
So I'm still feeling shaky and nervous about losing lithium, one of my "crutches".
Has anyone else experienced "coming off" a med? Especially before they feel ready?
