I've just started a low does of lithium and my pdoc is away and we didn't plan enough pills to get me through to the next visit. I started lithium 3 weeks ago and things have so improved since I've been on it. I don't have anymore and she is away still this weekend so I can't get refills. Will I be okay going 3 days without it? I'm worried because I was so down before and so volatile.

Most pharmacies will loan you a few pills ( since yours isn't controlled) until they can reach your doctor. If you just go to the pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist they can help. They know how important it is to stay on that drug. Good luck.
Thanks for this!

I did call CVS and they will give me 3 pills. Phew. I just don't want to go out. This will be my 3rd day without. I still have time to go out tonight but feel so lazy. Ugh.. I hope I will be ok.

Go, LM...Just one quick little trip out. And maybe pick out something fun to reward yourself for getting out. Nail polish, a chocolate, a magazine, whatever... You'll feel better once you go and get your meds. <3

I still haven't gone. Sorry. I feel bad. I'm being lazy and I'm not a lazy person at all. I hope it doesn't affect me too much.
I don't do smart things sometimes. My schedule during the week is crazy busy so now it is even harder. Yesterday was the day.
