Interesting. So regular doses of lithium stabilize but increased levels alter? I’ve been taking lithium for about 2 months now and it has really leveled me. The mood swings when I’m sick have been a side effect even when unmediated. But I have been taking Wellbutrin for the depression side so maybe that’s a culprit.

I drink lots of water just because of my lithium meds.

But it is a relief to know this isn’t uncommon and it’ll go away. I feel really silly every time I get so upset over little things when I’m sick. Looking back of course.
