Anyway, my Dx is Bipolar II, GAD/PD, plus some old substance abuse issues that come and go. After moving and going off all meds (involuntarily - no way to obtain them) I have recently gotten off the wait list and into a free clinic and sort of started over. I'm taking lithium, 900 mg; Parnate, 50 mg; and Klonopin, .5 mg BID/PRN. Doing better than I have in quite some time, though still LOTS of room for progress : )
I've read lots of your posts scavenging this site for information on lithium and parnate lately (I've been lurking for a good month) but I don't recall your particular "affliction." Anyway, I hope things are going well for you. It's nice to be back - I love this place, lots of knowledgeable and kind people!
Best,
db
