OK - I'll just say that the way you posted this misled me to think otherwise. ------->

That's what my Ex takes. Along with Clonopin (sp.?) and something else. It works for his Bi-Polar disorder too. When he doesn't wash them down with a gallon of wine anyway.

Yeah...my friend goes a bit nutty when she drinks if she's out of her comfort zone. All the paranoia comes back and it can take her a long while to settle down if she's not in the right environment.

If you highlight my previous post, you'll find that the answer was always there.

Man. That's why I wished you good luck. I know how hard finding just the right balance can be...and then once there, it's just goes off for no apparent reason. I've seen it firsthand. Lithium is the standard first line of defense becasue it is so effective. Just be careful because there are so many things that can cause it to be metabolised differently that it's quite east to reach toxic levels in a very short time if you aren't being closely monitored, especially at first.

I know you have a nursing background and probably know this, but just in case.

*hugs Brianna* I know what it's like to have to walk away for awhile, glad you're back, and I hope you find the right combination of meds to help you get back to a healthy norm.
