Oh, good :-). (purely selfish, shamelessly so :-/ .)

>Darn. I am sorry you are currently feeling poorly, Scott. Acceptance of a stall or a wall is important. You still don't
know completely what is in the future. You helped show me that. If you are providing support for a family in crisis, you are
having a profound effect on others' lives. I admire that greatly.> I have restarted taking fish oil. After three days, I have not felt any different, although this might be a good thing. That I don't feel worse is encouraging.

fish? Something about it being different. I'm not saying stop the supplementation. I'm suggesting yes to both.> Currently:

> nortriptyline 150mg
> Lamictal 200mg
You tolerate the lamictal o.k.? I guess you do, or you wouldn't take it. No more lithium?
