I told her how much I didn't like tegretol and she let me stop taking it! However, my lithium level was .05 so she said she wanted to increase that and see if it gets better. Im still cycling but I can see things getting better. I mean I was impulsive about the tattoo but I cancelled it today. I spent all my money....etc But I am in a good mood. Aside from everything making me cry I feel ok!
