In reply to 2:30am...What to do Re: stopped Li+, posted by Taylor123 on June 14, 2003, at 20:29:00
Hey Tay,
> What to do at 2:00am...
> Can't go anywhere, everything's shut...
> Can't sleep for the life of me.Is this insomnia an every night ordeal? Were you sleeping better when you were taking lithium? As you know, lack of sleep can cause mania (or hypomania). It can also be a symptom of mania/hypomania.
> Thanx for your feedback on me stopping Li+
> To the man in-the-know: Ron, I have just spent an hour on the net and bought myself some goodies, but didn't spend too much money... thus solidifying your input that I am not manic!First, thank you for the kind words but I think you have me confused with someone else. There are several people on this board that are in-the-know, but I don't happen to be one of them. Second, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I also said that if you continue without a moodstabilizer you are at high risk of cycling into mania (hypomania) and depression.
> I've got an appointment with the P.doc next week. I wonder what he'll say...
No need to wonder; he'll strongly urge you to bring a moodstabilizer on board.
Best wishes Tay. You're a neat young lady.
