LITHIUM CARBONATE  (LITHIUM CARBONATE):  This medication is used to treat manic-depressive disorder (bipolar disorder). It works to stabilize the mood and reduce extremes in behavior by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. Some of the benefits of continued use of this medication include decreasing how often manic episodes occur and decreasing the symptoms of manic episodes, such as exaggerated feelings of well-being, feelings that others wish to harm you, irritability, anxiousness, rapid/loud speech, and aggressive/hostile behaviors.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Bipolar disorder Sweating, brain fog/confusion, poor concentration, weight gain. I did not have any manic or depressive episodes while on 900mg lithium daily. It worked well, but I stopped taking it because of the side effects. Now I'm pregnant and I can't take it, but I plan to return to taking lithium after I have the baby because it did help immensely with my bipolar disorder, but I don't look forward to the return of the weight (I gained 30lbs on it and dropped 20 as soon as I quit).
