I'm on 1200mg lithium slow release at the moment. It's definitely done wonders for the ups although I am asking my doc if I can ease up on it a little bit on the dose. I feel intellectually drained and words don't seem to come to me as easy as they should.
More frequent trips to the toilet and the feeling of being a bit more stupid are bothering me. More stable? Yes, I think so. Missing some of the creativity and intelligence I have/ had? Yes. Worst part? Still thinking to myself "is it worth it?"
Not got an answer for that yet.
