I started lithium last week in the midst of a gnarly manic episode. I have bipolar 2 and have been on lamictal which helped but ive been having more frequent and disruptive manic episodes, so my psych and i decided to add lithium.

i feel like im drowning. i know its partially a post manic crash into depression but that combined with the nausea and dizziness and this total inability to focus really sucks

just wanted to vent since i found this community recently. feels like im getting worse, not better. can anyone relate?
