... or is it like the SSRIs that take weeks to build up in our systems before they start working?
Just wondering, because I just started Lithium two days ago, at a very low dose (225 mg.) I am very med sensitive, so that actually isn't too low for me to start.
Anyway, I have been feeling so much more stable and balanced the past two days it's eerie. No uncontrollable agitation. I was expecting bad results from the Lithium because I tried it a few years ago at 300 mg. and felt awful (I was in a post-partum period then, however.) Most meds have bad side effects for me, so this is strange ...good but strange.
I don't want to get my hopes up. Placebo effect, maybe? Too low of a dose to make a difference? Coincidence? Or could it be WORKING?
Any thoughts greatly apprecaited.
Thanks,
cindy
