Hi Miss Barb-
>>few snootfulls that I feel like smoking anything).
**Snootfulls? of what?
I'm the same. I can take or leave pot. in fact I leave it all the time. cigs, occassionally, but then at times I'm replused by them.i know what you mean about just offsetting the craving and how better we feel in a few days time. god, it's really simple....I feel more in tune spiritually and everything when I abstain. It's really a wonder why I do it? As you said, when I feel like I"m going to shatter, I have to drink. and then it gets me on the ball of drinking again...vicious and cruel cycles.
> I've been on 600mg lithium citrate which I think is generic eskalith.I'm on the eskalith CR Li. Carbonate.
> I don't know what to do here. I've been wondering if I'm one of those people that doesn't have a good reaction with the higher Lam dosages others report.
**I"m wondering that about myself as well actually, prior to you saying something. All my hypo states left me long time ago.
> Have you ever tried Wellbutrin? I think I asked before but don't remember your answer.
**I only tried it for two weeks as that was the last one before I realized I was BP. and i stopped it. I would definitely begin that one as ADs go before anything else. give it a go - maybe lower the Lam. before you do it for anxiety reasons. Don't ya love being a dart board? Unfort. there's no other way to go. 50 yrs. from now (and hopefully sooner) people will look back and just shake their heads at how little we knew and what buffoons were are.
* yeah I wonder about that addiction thing too. Your husband has addictions, but not to alcohol.... what makes us be addicted? Maybe it's just our poison as cigs and pot are his.
keep in touch Barb sweetie-
Love,
katia
