there is some technical problem with this board. It will not allow me to post a response to your post, so i am having to post a new one.
>What exactly did you do such that you lost your remission?
I went a little manic on the parnate and reduced the dose and it just stopped working altogether. I increased the dose and it made no difference.
I seem to have a problem with tolerance
I do not have the opportunities that you have to try all those meds. You in the US are fortunate, but it is quite different in the uk.... for reasons i have already explained.
I am not talking about the performance of just one drug
lamotrigine worked for 3 months and then stopped working
lithium worked for 2 months and then stopped working.I simply cannot tolerate a higher dose of parnate. It makes me feel terrible. Dont ask me why.... but I just cannot tolerate it.
You have had great opportunities to try different meds. I dont have those opportunities and I am too ill to travel and barely able to do my shopping.... what is available to you is not available to me.
So what do I do ? I cannot live like this.
I just spoke to this mexican psychiatrist who talked about tolerance.... and he quoted something about lithium, and having to keep swapping drugs every few months because of tolerance.
I have been offered 3 meds by the NHS and that is it...... What hope do I have?
