I've been stupefied by lithium. Sleeping 12-16 hours per day. Put my head on the pillow and some giant magnet keeps it pinned down. Unable to concentrate at all. Too weak to do most ordinary activities around the house. Thirsty all the time. Full of apathy. I feel blunted, stunted, chemically reduced.
I presume that because of my reaction that lithium is not a good option for me.
The pdoc is definitely getting a heave ho. Not because of putting me on lithium, but because of her utter deafness to my complaints. I am waiting to hear back from one pdoc's office to see if they are taking new patients. Another doctor, whose name I was given, isn't accepting new patients. Why am I so frightened by this process? Why don't I have faith that another doctor will be any better?
