I started lithium last week and I am really loving it - I’m already feeling clarity and general and increasing stability which feels like such an incredible relief. 

I haven’t had any side effects aside from a metallic taste in my mouth. I’m not sure if I would describe it metallic exactly but it’s there and it’s making it impossible to eat. I’m still trying to make sure to get some food but it’s so incredibly unpleasant. I have a psych appointment next week, but I was wondering if other folks have experienced this and if it has gone away for you? I don’t want to go off of lithium it’s been game changing and so I’m willing to live with this, but god is it so unpleasant.
