OK -- so I tried lithium for two weeks, off and on, and I'm stopping it now. I didn't like the way it was making me feel -- numb-minded at best -- and also obsessed over the fact that I can't seem to concentrate like I could prior to the binge drinking episode. So my focus is on defeating the alcohol problem first. I'm not saying I won't get depressed again, but I'm afraid enough of alcohol now that it's not going to be drinking that causes another crash. I also want to see if I get my mental abilities back following abstinence from both lithium and alcohol.
Interested to hear how your experience is going with li.
