PJ.... I miss the pixie dust too.

Three of us in the same lithium boat.

Yep, we all better be holding hands through this one. The best way through it, is together.

I am starting to be able to fall asleep without the valum. The toughest part now is the titration off the Lamictal, still. Weepy and some panic. Not as bad though.

The hunger will start to outweigh the crappy taste bud issue pretty soon. Increase your water and find some low-cal breath mints. Try it and see what you think. (I found some with caffine!! Helps a bit with the fog.)

The fog isn't new for me. I have fibro, so it's just like a really bad flare. Kinda used to that.

I have been taking my mid day dose with a slim fast and that seems to help with some of the fog. Not all, but some.

I just wish my eyes would uncross. Pdoc says it's probably the Lamictal. sigh. Still can't see after 11:00am. (If you live in Utah, watch yourself after 4pm on the west side of SLC. LOL. I drive a silver Mazda. )

I hope sleep comes to you soon and that it is resorative.

Wes was on Lithium and Serequel and Lithium, Befuddled. He was groggy as all get out. So we made sure he got his Seroquel at night, and he only took a small portion of his lithium dose during the day. It helped a bit. But he was taking 1500 mgs of Seroquel a day.....that would grog anyone out. I got yer back, girlfriend.
