Including options beyond medications. See (just for example) https://www.newharbinger.com/dialectical-behavior-therapy-skills-workbook-bipolar-disorder and http://www.amazon.com/Dialectical-Behavior-Therapy-Workbook-Disorder/dp/1572246286. This and other workbooks have changed my life.

Thanks for the posts on lithium. I am seeing my pdoc on Monday; but, I will take care to watch out for any changes in my mood or anything until I see her. I have stopped lithium before for a week or more without any problems. I do believe that lithium has run its course in me and I need different medication.

You may well be right. If the body changes, the meds may have to change with it.

I’ve learned not to trust the word of mental health professionals. They’ve told me bold faced lies before.
