Me too Greg. Probably this week. I still have these cutting episodes so I think Lithium would be helpful. No info on it though but I guess we can all keep eachother informed of our side effects, responses to it and just general effectiveness. You aren't alone.
Love much

Real scary, nightmarish stuff. Can anyone out there with any prior or current experience share it with me? Everything I've read seems real clinical and I'm not very knowledgable about any other meds expect for the ones I'm taking. I guess I'm looking for that Talking a to child, Treat me like I'm as stupid as dirt, kind of info. Anyone, please?
