Hey guys!,
I'm a happy man at the moment!
This might sound strange but I have a very, vary good feeling Lithium is going to be great.
I'll explain...1. When a medication at first does nothing (ie no therapeutic effects) it usually turns out that after a fail trial it only helps a bit.
2. When it has a great early effect it usually has a great later effect.
3. This one's the best! When it makes my symptoms worse at the start it usually has a brilliant effect! Like Nardil, - it made every symptom it helped worse at the start.
Lithium has now made my derealization and phobic anxiety and OCD quite a bit worse. GREAT!!!!
'Cause I know it's going to be great in a few days or so.More study should be done on this phenomenon. Michael Jenike MD has even noted that initial worsening of OCD to medication usually predicts a good response.
I think I've seen some posts about this phenomenon. Anyone welcome to comment.
Ace,
Nardil 90mg. Lithium, 250mg.
