As far as Johnston go's I think he became unhealthy because of the lithium. As a young man he was skinny as hell like me. Then he went on lithium and started turning into a fat old man.
My symptoms go on and off. I will be totally normal for 8 months, then start to act really manic, then either slip into a short string of psychotic breaks and THEN slowly come back down, or if I'm lucky just get very manic and then normalize.
I write, and also write/play music so being on any psych meds is rough. It totally cuts out your soul.
Do the monthly injections cover you the whole month? I know depakote can be time released, but I didn't know for so long.
The reason I thought it may be better for the liver is because Ive heard that some people inject alcohol to bypass the liver. I really dont know if thats true or not though.

And even if I have to go to Claremont
Well I guess I'll just have to go to Claremont
Let me go
Let me lie low
Yeah but you're going to do what you wanna do
No matter what I ask of you
And you send your dark messengers to tempt me
I come from Chino so all your threats are empty
