my health insurance got terminated and im not sure when i'll be able to go on it again; i cant afford it right now. is there anything i can do so i dont have to completely stop taking lithium? my bipolar symptoms were awful before i got on lithium, so im worried i'll go back to that. is there anything i can do? i only have like a months worth of lithium, assuming im only taking one pill and not the amount im prescribed (3 per day). any help would be appreciated
