In reply to Abilify....my doctor may think of it. But lithium., posted by your#1fan on October 12, 2007, at 23:56:40
First, you've never answered my questions about getting a second opinion. What is the compelling reason you don't do so?
Secondly, it's worth trying Lithium. It sounds to me as though you're anticipating problems, when it might just be that it is the magic bullet you've been looking for. Yes, there are potential problems -- but it's the gold standard for mood stabilization for a reason: it works.
I know you're anxious about this. Maybe concentrating on getting past the anxiety so that you can give lithium a chance would help you more than thinking about all the other alternatives?
I hope it does help you. I sincerely hope that you can find what you need to move forward with your life.
