> Here in Canada the *only* thing approved for bipolar is Lithium. The doctor won't perscribe anything that isn't approved, not even Depakote.
> I'm just so $%^$%^$ ANGRY !!!
> It's like this little part of my brain I want to rip out. Anger is useless, It shouldn't even be there.

>I thought Lamictal was approved there, guess not. YOu would obviously know better than I. Everything I have learned on this board about Canada has led me to one conclusion--it's health care system is the most overrated thing in the world. WIth the country being so enlightened on other issues, I just saw the whole gay marriage thing, you would think they would be enlightened about mental health, even G.W. is pushing for better mental health systems here (no offense to any republicans, I think it's a good thing).
Good luck, Link, maybe you can find a better doc??
