" have been lying to your doctor about this. S/he wants to check blood levels and you're asking how you can play with the dosage to get your levels up so as to continue to deceive your doctor. Is that about it?"
No. I don't want to deceive anyone. I want to get passed this without pain.
" Why not just tell your doctor that you had abdominal pain you believed was due to lithium and cut back the lithium and were fine. "
That is the right thing to do. There was no way to do that last session after being asked to get a lithium level.
My issue is one of being unable to tell my doctor of the decrease and now we're months beyond. He has not specifically asked me so I don't know if that's lying to him. (and PLEASE don't go off that it is the same don't reply if that's what you are looking to do).
Blah whatever.
I wish there was a way to delete messages here. I'm done using this acct and will be host blocking this site for a while to avoid reading any responses to this - too much anxiety.
It was the words. I am not trying to be a liar nor am I trying to be deceitful. I just can't always speak up.
Thanks to SLS and the people who have helped me in the past.
It'll hurt but I'll take 900 until I see my doctor again (if anyone cares).
