This is my problem, I have had to stop all of the drugs I have tried because of side effects. Sometimes, if the side effects were manageable I held on and tried for long enough to see if they would have an effect on my mood but nothing has worked so far.
I’m in much the same boat. Out of the 35 or so meds I’ve tried, I have the 5 I can tolerate. And now I’m having cognitive issues. She wants me to think about lithium. I’ve never wanted to because when I started here 8 years ago, I read nothing good about it.
Now I’m just confused. My mom has thyroid problems and I don’t want to start that in myself with lithium.
