I guess I might try some codeine tomorrow when the diarrhea starts. My dosage is 1250mg of lithium per day, levels at .85.
It would be nice if they gave us opiates instead of benzo's!! (God I hope my psychiatrist isnt reading this, tomorrow I will have "heroin addict" written on my records lol).
I still dont understand it, i keep thinking about the meth thing over and over again. I guess what upset me most is that he didnt even write that i had taken the drug occasionally which is also untrue as I have never had amphetamines but it actually said I had constantly abused methamphetamine which lead to psychosis and all this other crap.
I really dont know if I should read the rest of what he has written. Kind of too scared to.
Howcome your file is so big?
