Lithium and birth control

We just returned from the Pdoc - it seems like six months since we last saw him, so much has happened in that one month! He added Lithium to the medication cocktail . 300 mg twice a day. She was on Lithium back in 2009 and we didn't have good results but we have noticed that she is able to tolerate meds better now that were tried when she was younger and much smaller, so we're giving this a shot again. He also wants her to be put on birth control since she and I just discovered that just before her monthly visitor comes she sprouts horns and has the uncanny ability to turn her head completely around. He is unable to write a prescription for birth control so I must make another appointment and get her in to see our family doctor for that.
This is a blessing in two ways, since her hypersexuality episodes have me scared to death knowing it's just a matter of when, not if...
I told her we are having a condom party this weekend! I'm getting some bananas and pretty, colorful condoms and teaching her how to properly put them on and giving her some pretty condoms as party favors - just incase. I already drilled the cute slogan in her head "Don't Be Silly, Wrap Your Willy!"


 I'll keep everyone posted on the new meds and also fill you in on the adventurous month we had.


Wishing you balance.
