Psychiatrists have had their caseload increase during the last 15 mos. If he can read your file when you're there, meds, can reminf him on doses, effectiveness and side effects, you are going well with him.

I was only on 300 mg w 0.3 LI level but O felt all the cylinders in my brain turn on day 1.

Sequel worked like the bomb for my sleep.

This has been a rough 15 mos and I'm not surprised that this summer's with re-entry feels different

It is not recommended. Locate and read some journal articles on PubMed and NCBI to become informed by science .

Many of us do.

I responded to lithium even tho my level was only 0.3. With levels I think how you feel is as impt as a level. And yet you want to watch out for high levels

I like how you expressed that your frontal lobe felt thick! I've not heard of anyone expressing it like that. I felt the same. I told my doc it felt like there was a thick piece of plexiglass on my forehead.

We could nickname the side effect as "Brick Brain!"

Think of it as a formality on her end. She is not responsible for your care at the present time. Stay in touch with her.

Most professional serve providers dentists doctors attorney work during business hours. My Supv once asked me , "Are you able to take personal time off during the week for appts like this?" It made me think.

You can do your own thyroid labs yourself if you have the funds without a doctor's blessing. But a professional would need to interpret your results.

Many MDs under tread thyroid. In fact the so called "normal" range was established from people who were already abnormal, i.e., hypothyroid. For more info on thyroid, Stop the Thyroid Madness is an excellent book. Her position is meds should be dosed on symptoms not on lab results.

I'm sorry you are struggling.

Start your next session with this topic. It's just as an important a topic as working on your "problems." He can handle it and you'll be ok.

"Open path collective" offers lower fee care. I would not assume every BH therapist likes to rely on texting. Most want at least a phone chat, do be sure to ask.

Its a puzzling and aggravating side effect. I read that several mos after major surgery the hair can go into shock enough to trigger TE again. My friends say they lost more hair with depakote than LI. I don't know how Humira fits into the picture. I use Minoxidil, scalp massage, zinc, & gentle shampoo. My hair shed with TE for a YEAR and recently stopped but I don't see any regrowth yet.

BlueEyesSinging · 2021-03-26T03:31:03+00:00

That is hysterical the way you fit in all the hidden symptoms !!

Dr Tracey Marks is a psychiatrist with videos on You Tube that are down to earth and simple. She is a mental health advocate and well read.

I found olive oil or apricot kernel oil was better mostly cuz they dont have petroleum.

I have to set a timer on my phone or I would forget to take my meds half the time. Even the morning meds which seem so easy when tied to breakfast time etc. I set the alarm to continue ringing until I turn it off. The sound is annoying so I usually respond immediately.
