Scott I didn't know you're manias were drug induced must have revealed this before I was a member. I do know what I saw when working as had a great pdoc working on our unit and he was bipolar. Hence all patients that came in he said they were misdiagnosed and put them on lithium. He didn't believe in the having to obtain a certain range for the med to be theraputic. I saw miracles in his patients. Someone who came in with meanness and wrinkles on his forehead looked and acted relaxed after about a week. He even believed the PMS could be helped with extremely low levels of lithium. So I guess my point is that the low dose may just be the thing. I am playing with a lot of alternative stuff myself. Now one more question and I'll go away from the thread is since so much time has gone by since the original diagnosis are they and you sure it's correct? Could not be MDD? In and of itself and the manias since drug induced just make it isn't it bipolar lll? Love Phillipa
