And of course by now they know what I have since I buy all the classic stuff: lithium, lamotrigine, que
I need to share this with someone because if I tell my family they will freak out. I am currently travelling Asia, in Vietnam. Last night a depressive episode hit me like a ton of bricks despite slow release venlafaxine, 500mg quetiapine and propanol in my system. I went to the 8th floor of my hote
