Today I recommenced my Lithium taper, but much slower this time. I have been able to cut my 450 mg tablets eight so I can reduce my dose by around 56 mg a day. So I am now taking 1 and 3/8ths tablets a day. I will stay like that for two weeks then keep sliding down if I don't get awful symptoms. Right now I still have tremors so I must be in the therapeutic range. I am hoping to get rid of the tremors, frequent urination, and thyroid issues by reducing, or coming off of, Lithium.

Yesterday I was able to be more productive which is encouraging. In the next few weeks I have plans to tick off all the items on my list of things to do that has been on hold while I was unwell. Nothing exciting, and a few infuriating like my iMac needing repair. I have spent hours on the phone to Apple but my computer is still very slow. Now I have to drag this huge thing into the Apple Store and hope they can repair it cheaply. I bought the $3000 computer in a manic state. I never needed it (I thought I was going to be a famous photographer then dropped out of my photography course), but now I have it I hate to throw it away. Unfortunately I now do not have much savings so, yeh, repairs must be cheap or its going.

Today is very gloomy. As it is usually sunny here the change is nice. I couldn't handle living under cloud cover though. Anyway, I had better get going. The shops await. Sending hugs to those in need.
