"i&#039;ve been on 600mg along with 20mg of olanzapinne and 150mg of amitryptyline. i still get mood swings - not to the same extent as before but i still get them.  sometimes i find it hard to be around other people because my mood reflects theirs so i try to keep away. on a couple of occasions i&#039;ve been on a high and i&#039;ve invited the local homeless to crash at my flat; both times i was robbed while asleep.  i&#039;m considering lithium as an alternative to my current medications but i don&#039;t see my psychiatrist for another month so i&#039;ll let you know then if there&#039;s any change."
