> Just curious, what is your strong objection to lithium?
Because if I hold out on a medicine for a long
enough period of time and battle pain and
suffering while going down wild goose chases,
then that increases the odds that the medicine
will work when I ultimately cave. ;) This is my life.In all seriousness, I'm mostly battleworn from the
20+ medicines I've been on. I've alleviated my Major
Depression symptoms with Lamictal (thank heaven).
I seem to be hitting paydirt getting rid of these
excruciating myofacial pains with Topamax and Serzone.
Plus, I have no unbearable side effects from the
conglomeration of these medicines. Main mood issue is
that I'm a bit cyclothymic, slipping into and outta
hypomania, mild depression, OK. I've tried most the
other mood stabilizers, pretty much out of options.
Probably lithium would iron things out, just holding out.....
don't know if can stand physical side effect torment any
more...one of these day's I'll wise up. Like you
said I may be able to skimp by on a low dose of lithium
since I'm really just augmenting a regimen that has
about 80% of things under control.Thanks for caring,
John
