Wow, thanks everyone! My first question, amd you have made me feel a lot better

My pdoc has labs scheduled for two weeks from now, and made sure my thyroid was stable (I have been hypo for 13 years) before I started the lithium. He wanted me to start slowly since I tend to have adverse reactions, tho he said that lithium is very different than other meds. One reason I refused to take it in the past was my NPP ... She was obviously not competent, and I didn't trust that she would know how to read labs correctly.

My only migraine preventative right now is buspirone ... Last ditch effort after everything else failed completely. It helps my anxiety, which is a major trigger. I take 50mg benadryl when it turns really ugly, which weirdly is more effective than anything. Self-prescribed after research. Neuro threatened to not see me anymore, as she felt that much of my trouble was psych related. I was angry at her, but she is right

Also have fibromyalgia. Untreated, as both meds I tried (Lyrica and Nortryptilene) flipped me into mixed state insanity. Lots of meds do that, and bring up the suicidal thoughts. Scary.

Ok. I tend to go on! Sorry!
