I'm trying really really hard to get it touch with my doc to issue me with my prescription so I can collect lithium as I have none left to cover me until Monday. And I can't get through to them! I haven't been sleeping well either and I asked for a few zopiclone so I can at least get to sleep which I'm finding difficult.
They close in an hour and I'm starting to really panic now because it's not like I can go without this medication!

Oh wow. I'd panic too! If they don't get back to you, maybe you can go to the pharmacy and explain the situation and they'll give you enough lithium to last until monday? I think they'd do that.

I tried dozens of times to get my prescription, but no! They're closed now even though I have been trying since 10am this morning to speak to them so now I have three days of no lithium and nothing to help me get to sleep. This is brilliant. Now I'm really stressed.

Last time I took my lithium was Thursday night before all this rubbish. I can't explain how crappy I'm feeling right now. Everything is getting on my nerves.

It sounds like you're definitely having withdrawal symptoms I think. I don't even know what to suggest but the whole situation is having some kind of psychological and physical affect on you based on what you've written and it doesn't sound like you're in much of a good place.
Hang in there until you're able to get your meds sorandom easier said than done - try distract yourself in the interum because doesn't sound like there's anything you can do right now on the weekend to resolve this as it sounds like you've tried a few different avenues but to no avail. |

Oh no! What an awful situation to be in. I would be panicking too. Can you get a GP appointment to get a script? When I had ECT I had to stop my Lithium abruptly and it made me very agitated. I hope the withdrawals aren't too bad for you. Use all the self care skills you have to get through. Thinking of you.
