Hi Shellie,
I guess that is how it feels to me when it comes to meds- an all or nothing type of thing. Right now I feel incredibly dull and quite honestly miss being hypomanic, not manic- that's psychotic time and feels horrible. I know that some people have had success with titrating lithium to achieve a creative state, at least that is what I have read, and I imagine if someone felt like that they wouldn't be posting here. And yes, that is exactly how I feel with my depressions- totally nonfunctional, suicidal and almost always have auditory hallucinations. Mark wrote a very accurate portrayal of the difficulty of being compliant with meds- I think it was a response to the woman looking for help for her husband. Take care, Judy
