Thank you everyone! I took my last dose over 12 hours ago and I am finally feeling more normal and present and a resident of this earth. Still a little foggy and I have a really bad headache (for the third day in a row). To be honest, at this point, I would rather experience the depressive and manic episodes than to ever, ever, ever experience the side effects of the Lithium again. I was very close to going to the ER again to be checked into psych. I can't go through that one more day so I'm not. I'll call my pdoc on Monday to tell her I stopped taking it. The worst that can happen in the meantime is I'll feel the symptoms of my Bipolar Disorder, which is wayyyy more manageable than the Lithium side effects.
