I don’t blame you about those 3 , I went borderline toxic on Lithium once was horrible and scary... I like my liver, kidneys and thyroid to much to ever take the risk again.

I’m on Tapatalk so I don’t know if your current meds are listed.. isn’t is hell being basically a lab rat ! Doctors just flinging meds at us and seeing what might stick. Disgusts me
