In reply to Advice needed - should I start on Lithium?, posted by sackhoullier on November 10, 2003, at 14:29:10
> Honestly, when I started Lithium (and I have taken it on 2 seperate occassions) I didn't have any of the really uncomfortable side effects. I did have some diarrhea, but I am usually constipated, so it was a relief for me (sorry if that was a bit too much information :). When my levels were a bit high, I had some hand tremors. Where I ran into problems is when I was on several medications at one time (Depakote, Lamictal, Zyprexa, Klonapin, and Lithium). But, people tolerate drugs differently. Being on Lithium the first time brought a stability to my life that I previously thought impossible. It doesn't hurt to give it a shot. Good luck! Karen
