Hey everyone- Today I had what Oprah calls an "Ah ha moment." It was awesome...... I don't know where it came from but here it is........ So for the past 3 days I have gotten headaches- like almost migraines. Now this got my attention- because I never get headaches, not even stress headaches atleast after I started on my meds summer 2003. I have been on the same meds since then. Doses have been altered here and there- but not much. I've only ever met with one Phycologist/phychiastrist...... 

So anyway- the last time I felt this way was right when we ended up changing up my meds at one time. My body is trying to tell me something. I am going to call around for doctors in my area on Monday; throught this work week- that specialize in the treatment of Bipolar I. II. or whatever. I mean, so much has changed in my life in the last 2 years- my boyfriend whom I've lived with for the past 2 years even said he's certain that I have become immune to the lithium(I take 1,200 mg. per day) It's a life saver- if someone tells you what they see in you. Now since Lithium is the main med I take- I am interested in the "replacement meds out-there." I have been google'n recently- but mostly I'm printing out information on the alternative drugs. I was brain washed by my doctor, funny how that works in life. I have high hopes for a time release tablet of some sort. In hopes that the medication can and will hold me threw the entire day- until the next dosage at dinner. Right now- anything sounds better than what I'm on now. I heard Ambian CR is a great sleep-aid.

So if anyone is taking a non-narcotic that is working for them- as far as stablizing the mood and the high manic sides of depression etc. please fill me in. I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks for reading again,
