Thank you, Lara,
I appreciate your response.
I've not yet gotten any discussion from those taking lithium.
I all along have suspected it to be the culprit with much that I suffer.
And I've not yet been able to get what I need for to see any pdoc here, and I'm told there are in fact none on the coast.

I cannot get lithium blood levels checked until this fiasco with my medical coverage is done and I have proper coverage. Fortunately I still have meds to refill.

Yes, it is a shocking change here. The inability to cry has been for nearly ten months now, preceding this relocation. It's a terribly depression-prone region, yes.

I am in hopes today of working out the medical coverage and soon getting blood levels.
You are right, it is a very high dosage, which I have always questioned.

Thanks again for your support. I appreciate it truly.

P.S. LOL ... The coast here is in a perpetual cold, dark, rainy winter! It just doesn't go away.
This is it. Good for trees, not good for people!
