And to make things much scarier - are you ready for this....the resident said I had a bowel obstruction and was going to arrange for an operating room. It was a small hospital, very late at night so...
That's right. The Lithium/Lamictal combo has worked superbly with me, what a difference it made - and after all of those wasted years of pdocs not knowing what the h**l they were doing and finally...
