Welcome Tovy. This thread is mostly a game, answer the last question and answer the next one. I'm only telling you that because if you create a thread you may get a better/more answers to your question. I'll answer for you but others may have better input. Please don't feel like I'm being pushy, I just want you to get good answers to your question and I totally understand how the title of this thread can be misleading.

For me I am constantly tired but am on strong anti-psychotics (APs) and several other meds intended to sedate. Lithium never made me tired. Depression does make people tired and if you are constantly depressed that may be the cause. How long have you been on lithium? That's a pretty low dose although levels matter with lithium, not the dose.

Back to the game, I'll keep the same question: What do you spend money on when manic?
