how frustrating to have a pdoc that doesn't seem to listen. I remember my pdoc telling me that noncompliance seems to be the most popular with bipolar patients. I don't know why, maybe because the meds don't work. Well, if your daughter is bipolar and was on those meds, no wonder she quit. It must be very difficult for someone so young to have to beware of things like moods and medications, on top of everything else she is learning.
dove, I'm not sure about lithium and big-time depression. My guess would be if lithium is what you need, it eventually would take care of it. At the time of my lithium increase, my depression was moderate.
take care, Janice
