Lithium? Is anyone on it?
Wed, 11-03-2004 - 3:55pm
I just came from my pdoc app and we have discussed taking Lithium before but I was reluctant because of all the side effects. Quite frankly, the word terrifies me. I sem to be resistant to other meds so we are seriously considering this option. My pdoc told me to look it up and find out online from people who take it. He suggested a site, but I feel more comfortable coming here since I know some of you.

I'm asking if anyone has or is taking this and how it has affected them. Did it make you drowsy? I seem to have the opposite effect with meds. All of my meds right now are supposed to make me drowsy but that doesn't happen. Anyone?
