Medicine[edit]
Main article: Lithium (medication)
Lithium is useful in the treatment of bipolar disorder.[117] Lithium salts may also be helpful for related diagnoses, such as schizoaffective disorder and cyclic major depression. The active part of these salts is the lithium ion Li+.[117] They may increase the risk of developing Ebstein's cardiac anomaly in infants born to women who take lithium during the first trimester of pregnancy.[118]

Essentially, Lexapro (SSRI) sent me into bipolar frenzy that needs to be put out like a fire. This will give me more of a pillow to land on while I come down. I can no longer take SSRI's my body doesn't accept them. So Ill be put on this drug for a few months and it will make me thirsty gain weight amongst other side effects.
