Lithium......after a wild med cocktail following my hospitalization, I tapered down to nothing but Lithium which was my saving grace for about 3 yrs. I had no weight gain as with other meds....no hand tremor.....no drooling, lol....not zoned out... and I was able to go back to work as a highly functioning RN. My problem occurred with a brain aneurism in August (in no way related) and treatment for it that I became Lithium toxic....no one knows exactly why. You do have to have blood panels done on regular basis to check Lithium level, kidney and thyroid function but I never had problems til aneurism. I would take it again today if I could !!!!!
