Today is my first day on meds (Wellbutrin and Lithium) for about a decade. A lot of factors kept me off meds (death of my psychiatrist, lapses in insurance, feeling like I had things fairly under control), and I recently learned that my last prescriptions were wildly wrong for my diagnosis anyway so it felt like they never really helped in the first place. 

Being pretty out of practice with meds, I’m both hopeful that they’ll help pull me out of this long stretch of depression and also really really nervous. 

I’d really appreciate any advice you could offer even if it sounds super obvious. All I really know is that I should take them at roughly the same time every morning, preferably with food, avoid ibuprofen and cut down on caffeine, and that they might take a while to really do anything but not to stop taking them without talking to my doctor. So any sort of insight or tips would be really comforting and helpful. I feel like nondepressed me would have looked for a lot more information so I feel pretty unprepared.
