So I started lithium about 2 weeks ago on top of my other medley of pills! Doc put me on it after I was on a nice manic high and I was starting to crash. Well, I don't like it at all! It was supposed to help me sleep... Not working. Im still up every couple and I feel like a zombie during the day! I feel like I am getting more depressed as the days come and I am miserable.

I'm only on 600mg. I go for a blood test before I see doc on 1/28 and then he said if we need to up the dose we can but wouldn't that only make me more of a zombie? I just don't think this is working for me. Should I give it more time or is this what it is supposed to do cause I am waaaay too down right now! Thanks in advance for advice!

Hi Mkrooks

It is possible that you still need a little bit more time to see how you go.

Members here have had very positive experiences with lithium.

For me, unfortunately I was not so lucky.

Lithium never worked for me.

Let us know how you go.

Could be I need more time Hooligan! I will wait until I see doc to see what he says but I hate feeling so blah! It seems the lithium made me worse so I get impatient and you know that doesn't sit well! ugh! I guess I'm just having one of those "im so tired of going up and down!" moments!!
