Gracie:
I feel very flattered that you asked me more about dogs and now I must think about it to keep up my reputation. ;)
Re: drugs: First I would make certain any dog you get is not addicted to drugs.
second - have you considered a home security system? I don't have one (I live in rural Saugerties, NY), but I think they're a lot more reasonable they used to be.
third - do you have any plans re: this new drug regime? When I started, I told my pdoc I would only take one drug at a time. But the side effects seemed to need to be counteracted by another drug along the way. Thus, I take three now.
I wonder if Lithium is the best bet for monotherapy?
I, too, have more trouble with irritability than I used to, though mine seems to be a warning sign that mania is coming on.
It's all so frustrating. I have trouble drinking sometimes, and that just makes it all much worse.
I'll write more later and would love to hear what you and your pdoc decide to start with.
