So I saw my pdoc on 3/11 and told him I stopped taking the Lithium after about 1.5 moths. Upset my stomach awful, metal mouth, made me feel like a zombie... He agreed to let me try to up my Abilify to 5mg as I am on lowest dose of 2mg but if no significant improvement wants me to try Lamictal. His worry is I have so many highs and lows. I was in a funky mood and feeling blah and told him I was sick of meds, yada, yada... And he said we really have to get my meds straightened out because he worries I could have a break down and wind up so hypo it could cause me psychosis and stuff.

Is that true? I don't mean to sound ignorant but is that how bad this can truly get without treatment or is he trying to scare me into taking my meds? I've gotten pretty high before but never totally out of control and if he is trying to scare me into taking my meds it kinda worked.

On another note, if you have taken Lamictal, how has it worked for you?

Thanks as always for your advice!
