I've spent last night at the ER. I was put on Lithium last week, and due to not receiving proper advice from my doctor as far as water intake goes, I wound up with a severe case of dehydration.

My symptoms started getting progressively more severe around midnight, so I left the house in my pajamas, making sure not to wake my husband and children up. I could barely function.

I have lost faith in my doctor (see my other post: http://forums.psychcentral.com/bipol...ml#post4349658), in my treatment plan, and all my medications. I haven't slept in over 24 hours, and at this point; I'm starting to feel the euphoria of sweet sweet mania. I am tempted to just give up and let it take over...

Wow, you really should have let your husband drive you to the hospital, but I understand that sense of not wanting to bother someone.

I'm sorry you are feeling so let down by your pdoc, but please call someone before the mania gets out of hand.

You're right. I should have let my husband drive me to the hospital. Sneaking around, at night, on him wasn't the best thing to do...He didn't take it very well either, and rightfully so.
