Hello all, sorry I haven't posted in a while.
Not sure if any of you remember but I have Bipolar and have been and still am quite unwell (currently in a mixed episode), probably my own fault for stopping my medication when I thought I was well.
Problem is, my doctor has put me back on Lithium, Olanzapine and Clonazepam. I really don't want to come off the diet. I didnt mention to the doctor that I was doing Sole Source. My question is, is it possible for me to continue doing sole source, as long as I get my lithium blood levels checked regularly. I have lost so much weight now, nearly half way, and I know if I stop now, then it will all go back on. Olanzapine makes me gain so much weight. I did atkins and lost 6 stone whilst on Lithium and was ok. I know it says in the book not to, but I thought as long as I got my levels checked more than usual, then I will be ok?
Please tell me I can carry on.
So not fair
