Started lithium a few weeks ago (450mg at night), last few days at 600mg at night. I’ve heard it makes you thirsty/pee a lot but OH MY GOD I’m chugging water all day. The night I started at 600 I woke up to pee during the night FOUR TIMES. And I only slept 5 hours so that’s a bit. Anyone else experience this?

Also, it might be because my sleep is so messed up, but I’ve been having a ton of vivid dreams since starting it. Thoughts?

No other side effects yet! Mild hypomania but that’s so much better than the depressive episode I was in prior. Other drugs: lamotrigine 300mg mornings, adderall twice a day for fatigue (but switching to Modafinil soon), and stopping aripiprazole tomorrow. Occasionally zaleplon or lorazepam for sleep, and a migraine medication. Lots of drug changes but hoping it’s for the best!
