I don't think I'm having any side effects from the lithium.
It's just that in 30 years your kidneys will have dissolved. Just kidding: can do more good than bad. Old med, proven effective, risks are known. But do read up on them!

And analysis of blood samples, not just for lithium levels, but also various other (e.g. enzymatic) markers is very important. Especially when taken together with an antipsychotic.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
