Good Morning everyone, another question.It seems as though any medication we try for Jim only works for a short while,being a chronic sufferer he is never really free but somewhat more comfortable when we start something new,then its as though he isn't taking anything.Now he's on 900 lithium and 480 of verapamil.He's been on this dose with o2 and imetrix since first part of Dec when they started to get too unbearable, at first it calmed them down, still on the same dosage but as bad as he can be.What if we start to detox him gradually and then start over,we did try to up the verapamil but our Doctor freeked,afraid we'll cause real problems blocking channels we shouldn't.Any thoughts?
