> From all the studies I read about Lithium, it ought to be the perfect drug for me--I have bipolar II, depressed--that is, until I actually take it. Worst side effects I've ever had from anything.
That totally sucks. Sorry.
I thought that lithium was not very effective for treating BPII. Maybe this is an old idea. Valproate had been the drug of choice for this indication before the AAPs came to market.
What were the side effects that you had with lithium?
