This girl I know says lithium is her miracle drug. She is almost 30 and has been in and out of the hospitals since she was 10 and ever since she got on the lithium about 1.5 years ago it has worked wonders for her and she has not been in the hospital for the longest time since she was 10. But soon like with everyone it will mess with her kidneys and she'll be taken off it and be back to square one with her mental health along with ****ed up kidneys. Man do I pity her when she totes it as a "miracle" drug.

I actually made a ton of progress with my overall mental health when I went off it and switched to lamictal instead.
