A couple of things- yes i was writing about lithium, and yes i understand how difficult it is to find a pdoc to help you taper down once you get the bipolar label. It took me 2 years to find a shrink that would, but i did- and it was the best possible thing that happened to me. (One thought- maybe telling your present shrink that you want to get off lithium and try something different like depakote,etc.- but not actually doing it. I realize how deceptive that is, but sometimes they-pdocs- back you into corners with meds). as far as seizures, of course i believe you, i've had 3 grand mals myself. Are you still having them? If so, i would hope you are under the care of a neurologist. take care, judy
