I had very bad side effects to Lithium and like was also mentioned above, I just couldn't tolerate it.

If you feel that Lithium isn't helping you, trust your pdoc to find something that will. It took me a very long time to get on the proper meds.

I didn't in anyway want to sound discouraging, but sometimes it does take a while to find the right med cocktail to control whatever symptoms you have.

BlackPup, I want to wish you all the luck in the world in trying to conceive.
