Hi dark eyes
When I was taking Lithium, it did help, but I started forgetting things, and it was really bothering me. I starting having to write things down, so I would remember. I guess it bothered me the most because I am always so detail oriented, and I started to feel "bland" and forgetful--basically scatter brained. I just could not handle that, so I tapered off of the drug on my own and stopped it. My pdoc was not very happy about that, either, but it is my body and my mind.
I will see what my dr has to say. She has mentioned Lamictal before, so maybe I will discuss that with her
Thanks again,
