PoorPrincess, Thanks for your reply- I am aware that my behavior is somewhat reckless. I expect my Medicaid to come through this month giving me back access to both a doc and meds. Since I was on it for months before my last pdoc did any blood work, didn't figure a few weeks would be an issue as a doc wouldn't be testing within that time frame anyway. I also figured the lithium was causing my crawlies, should it get worse or become a rash, I'll be sure to quit it.
