Sheila,

I might be asking my doc for lithium. Well, I will be discussing BP with my new pdoc. I respect him enough to hear what he might suggest. That's more accurately phrased.

At what point ever did you have lithium levels measured by blood draw? Did you do this at 450mg? You know I want to go low dose. But I now want to be adequately treated if he feels it's an issue.

I thought you had some blood work done at some point. I apologize if I am mistaken.

Are you getting that geodon to work for you yet?
