I used to, Pukey. I took stuff called Carbolith for a while. All I can say is, be careful if you're a person with a slow motabalism, you'll end up as big as a horse. Lucky I have a fast one so they never really had that side effect.
Mood stabilizer. Low thereapuetic index meaning it's easy to run into trouble if you got too much in your blood. Can cause kidney failure and cerebellar damage in toxic range. http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic301.htm
True, but Lithium is not nearly as dangerous as unmedicated bi-polar disorder. Look up the suicide/homocide/accident rates for bi-polar D/O. Lithium, properly regulated, is a much safer option. Too bad there is not a medicine to treat what ails you Dan. Maybe you will be the researcher that discovers the magic cream that shrinks assholes back to a normal size. Since you are the biggest asshole I have ever met .......you know. Barry
Just out of curiousity, why is being a male nurse something to be ashamed of? Oh, I forgot. You are a DOCTOR wannbe, and a DOCTOR is better than everyone else. My liittle degree, license, and private practice is lower caste compared to your ALMIGHTY self projected image. Have you ever considered Dan that the reason you want to be a DOCTOR is to bolster your incredibly crushing feelings of inferiority? Maybe if you could be a DOCTOR and make lots of MONEY then you would be SOMEBODY instead of the NOBODY you are now. I never see you write anything with compassion. You simply quote, state, or reply in ways that appear to make you an authority or superior in some way. Suggestion - accept your inferiority, get a little humility, learn empathy and compassion, grow up, and stop being a burden on your parents. You may be happy one day if you take that trail. Barry
Yeah you're right. I should be more patronizing like you are instead of simply answering the question. After all people like to be treated like little kids. It's just good medical practice.
Here's a tip for free "Doc". Medical teams are just that, teams. If you want to work in one, you'd be advised not to treat nurses as subordinates.
Well, I have't taken the Lithium and I won't because I am not bipolar. I'm far more complex and neurotic than to have something as mainstream as that. Besides that, psychiatrists are only drug dealers anyway. You have to keep going to get the medicine that is right for you. They don't make any money off of you until they give you a bunch of shit that doesn't work anyway. My shrink is a pharmacist as well, so I should be on a plethora of drugs pretty soon. Drugs are gay.
