I've just read wikipage on Lithium's side effects, plus some stuff posted in here
I'm having 2nd thoughts about starting Lithium treatment which was recommended by my pdoc

Are there alternatives better than Lithium in terms of side-effects ?

* Is it mostly given to patients with Mania ? maybe if I have bp2 I'm better off with anti-depressants only ?

I'm so scared falling into side-effects that will mess up with my functioning and my body
