Thanks so much. How long have you been on lithium? I'm 5'2" 120lbs and also on 600mg. (In addition to other things…) Did you start on it right away when you were diagnosed in September? Are you on anything else?
While I trust my doctor and my therapist, I also worry about putting all of this stuff in my body. It sucks that there's no exact science- the answer to every question is always "it depends" or "it's different for everyone." I'm sick of this. Angry, sad, irritated, hopeless, then hopeful, happy and ok. Right now I'm ready to crawl into a dark cave to hide. So mad that I have to deal with this
