In reply to scared to start lithium, posted by lara53 on August 5, 2005, at 19:03:02

Hi Lara,

I started lithium long ago. It was really
strange at first - i felt so heavy, like
some pachyderm crashing down the stairs;
also thirsty, stoned, sleepy, lethargic;
but after about 3 months I got used to it
and felt normal. I did not mind the
really pronounced side effects because it
was so effective for me (in a week).

Just follow your doctor's orders and
notify anything that bothers you. You'll
probably be started high and then lowered
on the dose.

Hope it agrees with you.
