What caused you to throw up? Nerves? Something you ate? Granted, the fact that you puked is just as significant as the reason why, but still.

If you are able, contact the doctor now. If there's an issue, you shouldn't be forced to wait.

Lithium plays havoc. You've got to try and contact someone who can actually help you. See if you can get hold of the ACLU about this. Someone else suggested this to you earlier. Maybe they can help.

Trying to get off of antidepressants can be very hard to do, and you will feel extremely sick for a week or two trying to come off of them. You shouldn't do it cold turkey. Call you dr. and see if they can switch you to a different one that is easier to come off of or try to ween yourself off slowly over a couple of weeks. Call your dr. first though!

Good luck!

Js - you haven't been following this (it's on other threads). His parents/doctors have him on this stuff, and he can't convince them what is best for himself. Frankly, it sickens me.

this is what i was afraid of, i got a court ordered day program wich i cant really go to because of these
drugs, to get off i need to not go for awhile. but not going will trigger a pscyh screen and they allways vote to commit. i gonna need an md to say im medicallly unfit to go.
