Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

I have heard this said - but I was experiencing Lithium toxicity and bordering on comatose at the time.

It really doesn’t make sense for your pdoc to change all your meds. If it ain’t broke then why fix it? Are you able to ask them if they literally meant that they would swap out all your meds? Perhaps (hopefully) s/he was just exaggerating.
