Hello there....I was diagnosed while in full blown mania. I was immediately started on Lithium 900mg....Aug 2012. It worked. I did gain a lot of weight. I’m also thirsty all the time.
I tapered off Lithium because of the weight gain. In three weeks I was back in full blown mania and admitted to a mental hospital. After three months of hell I went back on Lithium. I’ve been on for six years now. I get blood work done regularly. I can not take ibuprofen now. Do not feel bad about taking Lithium.
