I will get my meds "retuned" soon at an center specialised in manic depressions.:)

My guess is they will try me to take lithium:shutup: again, but no way, josé!!:01:

Lithium is some serious shit,stay off it if you can,throw it away if they makes ya.

CVS brand multivitamin - 1 a day (I get 'em buy 1 get 1 free)
Glucosamine Chondroitin - 2 a day (same as above)

Sometimes I take these...

Naproxen - $5 from Kaiser
Flexeril - (same as above)
Prednisone - (same as above)

No history of mental illness for you then Busy,Just pain from your fecked knee then.

Why? It's a salt, no big deal. Took it for years myself. Not that it did much to help. Worked better than Tegretol although the blood tests are a bit of a bind. So what exactly were they doing to me, if lithium was so bad? :unsure:

Now when they had me on Chloral Hydrate.... that is serious shit. Quite glad they did away with shyte like chlorpromazine too.

I stand corrected,Its used to treat bi-polar isn't it?
Seems to radically change people,sounds scary.

Bipolar and schizophrenic type illnesses that involve mood changes. It's a mood stabiliser. Certainly doesn't suit everyone; I didn't have any serious problems with it but it did nothing to help (but then I'm not bipolar, so it probably wasn't the best choice at the time).

It's the old style tranx that I hate. Spent years feeling like I couldn't wake up properly. The new anti-psychotics are much more user-friendly :)
