Lithium
bipolar disorde
"I was diagnosed as bipolar in 2007. I've been on and off a plethora of different meds. In Nov. 2015 my nurse practitioner put me on 600mg/day of Lithium Carb CR. At first my emotions were all over the place then things began to level out. For first time in years I actually felt SELF motivated! My nurse pract. said the blood test looked bad for my kidneys and thyroid. My pcp said the opposite.  I didn't care; I was ALIVE again! Then about 10 days ago I felt the  first slip and now I'm in free fall. I'm so tired of fighting."
