> It was a sort of round-about way of arriving at a higher dosage of lithium, but it was fortunate that I decided to try removing it. I would not have experimented with higher dosages otherwise. So, I went from 300 mg/day to 450 mg/day. 600 mg/day flattened me out too much. I am doing quite a bit better. I foresee good things happening. At some point, I will try removing the Abilify. I would like to lose weight, but it is more important that I reduce my triglycerides. Abilify is the most likely culprit for these things. Although it is my guess that I will end up needing Abilify, it is the logical move to attempt to discontinue it. I'll wait awhile before doing this.

Even if I were to wake up tomorrow morning feeling 100% well, it would still take awhile to recover from what this illness has done to me. I hope to be working by this time next year. We'll see.

Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold."
