Hello, hope you guys are holding up well. It's been a while since my last post, so maybe you've forgotten all about me, let me refresh your memory:


I'm bipolar type I with occasional psychosis and lithium was giving me hypothyroidism, so my pdoc lowered its dose and started me on valproic acid. It was all going pretty well until 3 months ago he increased the valproic's dose and I've recently suffered a syncope... I fainted in the bathroom and hit my head so hard that had to carry staples for a while (my pdoc hasn't admitted this event and valproic acid are connected yet btw...).


Well this is what I wanted to tell you: it looked like my doc had found the perfect medication but now I must start all over again, because both valproic and lithium have downsides that can't be ignored and I don't know what I'm gonna do. I haven't even been able to check if valproic is able to keep psychosis away yet either...


Well, thanks for reading this, please comment if you will. Cheers. D.
