Has cut my suicidal fantasies drastically. Used to think of suicide between 25 and 300 times a week. Now it is between 0 and 5 times a week. Has evened out my sleep as well which got really bad on lamictal and latuda. Have more energy and look forward to stuff too now. No adverse side effects yet on it for three months.

SINCE TAKING THE LITHIUM, I HAVE NOTICED THAT I NO LONGER HAVE THE SEVERE MOOD SWINGS AND IM GENERALLY HAPPIER NOW. I DO HOWEVER HAVE SOME OF THE SIDE AFFECTS LIKE DROWSINESS, FREQUENT URINATION AND INCREASED THIRST. BUT WITH THE SIDE AFFECTS AND HOW MUCH BETTER I FEEL, I THINK ILL DEAL WITH THAT.

Since I have been taking lithium i have been depressed everyday with bouts of crying and when not crying just feeling awful. I have noticed minor problems with excessive saliva and other things which could be accentuating my other troubles I have, but the depression horrible. I am going to ask my doctor to fully take me off of it and find something else.
