Hi Larry,
I thank you for the thoughtful and conscientious
reply. The term "organic brain syndrome" is
vague enough to cover many unkowns - it really
did fit the description of a stroke, and given
the very hot weather with lithium, it very well
could have been. Possibly the absence of clonazepam
in withdrawing changed the chemistry. In any event,
i survived it with waves of illness. I appreciate
your credulity.You make good points - i couldn't ask for more,
except perhaps for being successfully withdrawn
from clonazepam. But either that is not possible
for taking it too long, or ignorance on how it can
be done, or whether infact it should be done. Given
the theory that bipolar disorder is a species of
epilepsy it would be unwise and would contradict my dr.'s
willingness to let me try getting off it, and the success
of people who have.As for Charles Medawar - he is the Director
of Social Audit in England and has written a number
of bookshttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books-uk&field-author=Charles%20Medawar
You can do a Google on him and see numerous
hits - or ask me to send you some if you
don't "Google" -- my husband has described him as the
Ralph Nader of pharmaceuticals and health (in the U.K.)Thanks again.
