I took an extra 150mg daytime (which I had rarely ever done), and went in to talk to my boss about the $$ issues-and I just spelled out my case very casual and matter-of-fact, and walked out .. with more than I expected! The whole trick was not to get all emotional and pissed. That is what will defeat folks everytime.

> MitchHi,
I am glad Li gave you the "chill" you needed to be calm and collected to get that extra $$. I really do like Li. It settles me down. And with the absence of AP's, Li is truly essential to my cocktail. Just wish it didn't cause the ol' scalp to burn.
Switching to once a day dosing has increased the burn, but I am not going to get worried yet. I imagine my body thought I was going to increase the dose, when I was merely "adjusting." Man, my body is SO sensitive.
But I am really keeping up the Flaxseed oil. Boy, I love that stuff. And it seems to help the most with the scalp and skin pain. I look forward to having a tablespoon of it on an english muffin with cottage cheese. Extremely satisfying. But everyone I tell about this "treat" for me, thinks it's so gross. But actually it's very tasty. The oil is has a nutty flavor that I got used to really fast. Now I don't know what I ate before I happened upon the stuff!Well, that's my story...Are still taking any Li now? I know you got the depakote back on board. How is the sam-e working out?
