I quit cold turkey and I felt like I was going to die. I was sick sick sick !! Took a few weeks to feel like I might live through it.

Please do a slow taker off.

I will say I didn’t feel “ right” for a couple months. My brain had to get use to functioning sans meds.

Is your Pdoc unwilling to help you find a medication that you can tolerate better than Lithium???

I know I had huge problems spelling simple words like What or meanwhile... the cognitive problems along with the damage Lithium can cause physically was my reasons for dumping it.

If you can do taper off slowly.
