> I agree with Philipa you need to have your level checked as otherwise you can end up quite doppy on lithium.
Maybe I can ask my doctor Monday. But it is a very low dose, because I will find out if I can make it with that, to avoid most of the lithium side effects.
> But I must admit personally it is the one drug that can pull me out of the deepest of depressions and the worst of agitated/mixed state hypo/mania. I compare it to my mind being like a jigsaw puzzle which has come apart and the lithium puts it all back in the right place. It is practically miraculous.
--The last time I tried it, half a year in 1994-1995, it made me indifferent, so I am very careful, not to get a higher dose than strictly necessary.
