haha--yeah, for the .5% of the population his warnings could apply to, perhaps i'm one of 'em.

yes! I went off of ALL my psych meds within a one day period--all at once. it's a stupid/horrible thing to do, but i had become so sick that I couldn't hold anything down, so i literally just couldn't take them. after that, my pdoc said even though he doesn't agree w/ the med docs, i should just continue the washout. i'm losing insight of the fact that i'm in withdrawal and a washout which is pure hell.

> Also, you wouldn't happen to be on lithium by any chance, would you?

I was indeed on lithium from late June until about a month ago and stopped as I developed severe edema and felt that it could've been the lithium (even though my pdoc said that was impossible). why do you ask?

thanks, schleprock!
