| 1 | Bipolar Disorder | It worked superbly at first but having come off it I realised I'd exchanged one set of problems for another. It's ruined my mouth and throat (tissue damage and Dysphasia) and having come off it i realised it dampened my entire being. Since coming off it my Creativity, Drive, Personality, Sex-Drive, Ambition, Sociability have returned. I'm still on 600mg daily of slow release Seroquel to stop my intense mania, but the Lithium DEFINATELY locked me into a mood for the day, wherea now after an annoying incident I still get mad, but it disippates in minutes, rather than me like that until i next sleep. | Ruined my mouth, increased urinationn, weight gain, loss of interest in practically everything, reclusive behaviour, self-destuctive behaviour. As lithium is a salt it is damaging to particularly soft tissues in the body, I would advise if your starting to have mouth and throat problems and your on Lithium - Come off it. | M | 39 | 4 years 1000mg 1X D | 3/13/2014 | |
