Lithium: is this what it's supposed to be?

Posted by Fernando on March 10, 2001, at 7:04:46

Greetings,
I've been diagnosed a bipolar, and have been taking lithium (300mg, once in the morning, twice at night) for two weeks now. As of thursday, my blood level is 0.7. My mood is stable, but I'm worried about the side effects. I feel stiff, clumsy when moving around, somewhat shaky, but what I find most frustrating is that at times I experience difficulty finding words while speaking, and feel overall confused.
Are these side effects normal? Will they decrease, or will I have to cope with them as long as I'm taking lithium?
Thanks
Juan
