I have been diagnosed type 2 1 bipolar for 20 years. The first ten years I decided to medicate myself with drugs and alcohol, I know..like pouring gasoline onto a fire. After discovering lithium, I thought it was a miracle! I was even able to graduate from OSU. Well, I noticed in the last few years that my memory if awful, the weight gain is climbing again, I also had my thyroid removed due lithium induced multi nodule goiters and most importantly, my joy is GONE. Not really depressed just can't get excited about anything. I tried going off of lithium before and is was horrifying, My chest was so tight, I thought I was having a heart attack! I am going off a lot slower this time. I would love to hear other's experience
Thanks
