It depends on how you were feeling I think. Like were you drowsy or spaced out? I tapped a car in front of me once and it was most definitely the lithium. I was toxic from it and totally zombified I shouldn't have been driving. But I was only 19 at the time so I didn't Dmit it to myself.

I've also had trouble driving when I manic. I can't focus on the cars because I have so much going on in my head. When I'm like that I don't drive if I hAve enough impulse control to think about it.

But you said you're depressed and I know you have been for a whole. Depression slows me down so much it's a real chore to drive.

So it can't be blamed on medicAtion alone, though lithium can go from fine to toxic in aatter of dAys because so many things Affect how it's processed in your body.

Otherwise it is a pretty common mistake. My husband has no MI issues And he hit a stopped car.
