Hi Chris.

> I'm going bak on lamotrigine, partially due to your encouragement. The pDoc covering wants me to go for a consult at Harvard, since they are supposedly on the cutting edge of bipolar. Do you know the best doc to see there? It would be a major venture for me since I live in the west. I Am back in the hospital - attempted suicide with an impulsive OD, but am ok physically at this point. Out of guilt I didn't ingest all that I intended too. Have to be back on the unit from pass ina few minutes. Thanks for all your help - Scott, Karen Judy

Dear Chris,
I guess you didn't see my post addressed to you. I selfishly asked you to please stick around solely for the purpose of getting me through *my* tough times. :-) Of course, this isn't a real good reason. I was just hoping to make you smile and have you realize that you are loved and needed by others - certainly by me.

I understand. No need to apologize. You are not weak. You are incredibly strong and courageous to have made it this far. You have earned mountains of praise, admiration, and respect by those of us who know the real truth about this disease and understand your suffering. I just wish that things didn't have to be so excruciating for you. You have been through so much. You have tried so hard. Believe it or not, you project positive energy, strength, and optimism. I'm glad you are still here.
As far as names are concerned, the one that stands out in my mind is Andrew Nierenberg. I have seen him personally. He is a warm and caring human being. At the very least, he should be able to refer you to the person most appropriate to treat your case.

I expect to see your name appear on this board in the future - not because I demand that you stick around to post, but because I think that staying alive, getting well, and actualizing a life of rewarding experiences is your true goal.

With love and respect,
Scott
