Hi there. Next Friday is time for me to see my pdoc and I'm gonna discuss how clear it is that both lithium and valproic acid are not working for me as they should (lithium creates hypothiroidism and is unclear it actually helps against my crisis AND valproic, well, too soon to know if it's helpful but already giving me a hard time with side effects).

I wonder if any of you has ever traded the same waters. What is there left to do if neither lithium nor valproic offer a valid solution for us?

(Oh and for those who tried pharmacogenetics... the most complete test I've found comes from Genomind in the US, but I'm not sure I'll manage ordering it, being so far away from Spain... It would be nice to get rid of all this trial and error that my doc enjoys so much...)

Thanks for your answers. Take care. D.
