Okay so I called yesterday and left a message. She should get back to me today but probably not until like 6pm after the med providers leave. I stopped thinking about the possibility of lithium toxicity. Tuesday was the worst, Wednesday was a little better (though I did get dehydrated and lightheaded), and today no vomiting (but yes to nausea), just diarrhea. I'm gonna suggest switching to extended release or taking 400mg 3x a day instead of 600mg 2x a day.
I'm mostly alone these days. I live with my mom primarily and we spend maybe an hour together a day and she just knows I have a lot of energy and is annoyed with me moving furniture around and screaming. I wasn't really thinking of psych IP, just going to the ER to get fluids and make sure I'm not toxic the quick way. I probably won't be able to get any blood test until Monday because nurse will call late evening, tomorrow she'll spend the day trying to get in touch with my pnurse who will wait until the last minute to send it over, so maybe Monday I do the blood work (closed on weekends), get the results by Wednesday? That's like almost a ****ing week. I have a friend at the other clinic for our area and he says they're just as bad. He's on clozapine and it takes like 4 days for them to go from blood work to "okay, you can pick up your meds" so he does what I try to do and stock pile meds for when he runs out.
