[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 158296, member: 1514"] K...I lost insurance for reasons too lengthy to go into right now but because of that I was forced into the public income based mental health system. Their psychiatrist's have their own rigid ideas of how to treat bipolar and werent at all interested in listening to me when I told them what I had been on for YEARS successfully. By the time I actually got into them I had run out of my own medications so I had to cold turkey all these psychiatric medications and try it "their way." I did but I was kicking and screaming the whole time. I refused depakote completely because of two reasons...the weight gain plus it caused a life threatening wbc problem for Cory. I took lithium for about 3 weeks and was a basket case the entire time. I actually expected it to work somewhat because Cory took it fairly successfully. At that point I got nasty and told them that I would either be put on what "I" knew worked or I would be put on nothing. I got their attention. Lithium made me irritable, angry and it gave me non-stop eating. [/QUOTE]
