It would be ''nice'' if they help people before its ''too late''
 This was not said to me. It's what I think I am not up to writing another pernicious thing stated by a ''treatment provider'' __________________

Well, I was not happy with my medication. I have been on Lithium for at least 5-years and still struggling with insomnia. An indication that maybe, just maybe I should not be killing my kidneys slowly and try something different. I was given Thorazine which gave me severe constipation especially because Lithium tends to do that alone. So being the end of the sucky 2020 I suggested of changing meds for 2021. Should not the pdoc have suggested it? Anyway, after my suggestion the pdoc I am with for almost a year now, says; "great plan, in 10-20 years (I am 64) you'd be thanking me for saving you from dialysis!" then he proceeds to tell me how dangerous Lithium is for the elderly kidneys. Indeed I heard a 37-year-old woman having a 60-year old's kidney because of Lithium.
My pdoc said it like it was his idea! It should have been! But I am most angry at my Chiese pdoc for 4+ years who also KNEW that I cannot sleep and let me take lithium! Then my pdoc says "well, for Depakote we have to monitor your liver but this is not nearly as bad as Lithium for the kidneys." __________________ Cyclothiamia - on Depakote with occasional Thorazine for severe insomnia. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
