Takebackmylife: Introduction


Takebackmylife

Recommended Posts

Today I hit rock bottom. After a night of arguing with my husband and him moving to the basement and wanting a separation, I went to ER. I've been 21 days off Lithium 300mg with excessive weeping, leg pain and wrist pain. I left ER with a plan to go home and sleep and take medication tonight before bed. Still undecided about what to do. Could desperately use some support and guidance.

Takebackmylife, how are you doing now?

 

What kind of medication? It sounds like you're going through a family crisis. This could have a big effect on your weeping, etc.

 

During a family crisis is not a good time to reduce psychiatric drugs.

This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

I'm sorry, this is only an Internet peer support forum. It sounds like you need a family counselor to speak to face-to-face. Please contact your local social welfare agency, church, or family therapy center.
