I was curious if there's anyone here from the Sacramento area in CA. The NAMI Walk is coming up April 30, and in case anyone was interested, my support group is forming a team and it's pretty much open to those who'd like to walk with a group. It's not exclusive, so message me if there are interested parties

It is really nice when the lithium levels get high enough to be aggressively therapeutic. Lithium's an antidepressant mood stabilizer too. I'm on depakote and lithium, which for a lot of people works better for rapid cycling than just lithium, but I know depakote has a horrific reputation as to weight gain. It has never much affected me, but I don't think I'm representative. I have dealt with breakthrough mania a lot, and one thing which has been helpful is a major tranquillizer mellaril which I take on demand.

Yeah, before, my levels were 1/2 the lowest therapeutic level, now I'm just at the lowest therapeutic level. I have an appt with my pdoc soon, so we'll see...it's just quite annoying, ha.
