My brain battles me though because now I start to think maybe Im ok and don't need to take lithium. I mean Im not sad or doing impulsive things. And maybe Im not really bipolar but just go through phases.
I agree about needing to drink more as it makes me thirsty but nothing crazy.

It's interesting you mention vertigo. I've been
having really bad dizzy spells that was suspected to be vertigo. My pdoc lowered it due to weight gain and coincidentally my the dizzy spells stopped.
