Hi ! I’ve been on lithium for 3 weeks, and I’m starting a 800mg doses tomorrow but I’ve been experiencing lots of mood swings during the day, that I didn’t have before, irritability, and hardcore suicidal thoughts
The only good things is that I can concentrate for hours, which I couldn’t before

I do blood testing every weeks and everything seems normal, but I have all these bad things happening and every person that I know that takes lithium seems to be waayy more stable because of it

I can’t find anyone experiencing the same thing and I don’t know anymore if it’s normal that some people may react like this

I have already been calling my doctor for a week but he doesn’t respond, he’s definitely going to respond one day but while he doesn’t I’d like to know if anyone can share a similar experience ? 

Have a nice day
