I hope you don't take this wrong, but bringing financial damage to your family under the label of mania, when returning for your money back could rectify the situation isn't taking accountability aka personal responsibility. What really drives these 'wants'?

The second opinion is because of the very experimental med changes. For instance, he is increasing my Lamictal from 400 MG to 800 MG when the only FDA studies for Lamictal in Bipolar Disorder have been at 400 MG. He has also added an antidepressant and a stimulant when I struggle with mania and mixed episodes. Despite my symptoms, which I told him about, he increased my Vyvanse (stimulant) from 35 MG to 50 MG. I am taking it because frankly, being up and moving and depressed is much more productive and conducive to my relationship than laying my butt on the couch ALL DAY LONG!
I rarely take constructive criticism the wrong way and I honestly agree with you. Maybe I can do it and when I am over this I will??? I am like a child with candy. I can't give it up. I am attached. I need this stuff. I need to be dressed up. I need to look nice. I need to look expensive, to look extravagant. When I look at all this stuff, I can't find one thing I can return.
