Hello again,

Well I went to my Pdoc today to discuss medicine and such (as well as my short hypo which he said is perfectly normal). He once again moved my lithium dosage up again because my blood level is to low. This triggered a conversation about my current cocktail and if I could get off/switch some of them (namely, seroquel, because my dry mouth and stuffy nose is making me constantly feel bleh and like I should buy stock in tissues).

He said to me "well, lets get your lithium up to normal levels and we will see if you even still need the others".

This made me think...is it possible to be -mostly- stable on just lithium? Maybe I am just pessimistic, but I find it near impossible with the cycling meds I've been on for the past year that all I needed was one pill (that will damage me in the long run, but still).

With how my family is, and my friends (and their family members) it is more of some sort of pie in the sky idea.
