I am lucky - my creatinine (kidney function) lab is normal, which means that we can stop without lowering Lithium even further (we had to lower it because of abnormally high creatinine) and I can enjoy stability on the current cocktail: Geodon 180 mg + Lithium 450 mg. I am afraid eventually I will have to go off Lithium completely, but for now I got a much needed break from med changes.

I feel very good - yesterday was hypomanic, but today just excellent.

My psychiatrist recommended that I get up at 5:30 AM, every day. He says it is key to sleep regulation (I already go to bed at 8:30 PM). I have never done it and am looking forward to trying.
