hyperfocus, why weren't you in my life 1.5 years ago when I decided to go off lithium because "I didn't think it was really helping" (even though it was the first drug I ever got partial benefit from) and "it upsets my tummy". As I've said on this board before... if I could change any single decision in my entire life, that would be it!
Almost every time I go off a med, I turn out to mess up something, and then "just putting the med back" doesn't work. This is the way I have burnt out Effexor, Lithium, Celexa, Lamictal, Lexapro, and now probably Pristiq and Wellbutrin. Why oh why can't I leave S*&( alone!!!
