Saved my life. Two months in and no side effects at all. I wish I was'nt so afraid of it....I would have taken it much, much, sooner.

Lithium is the one med I have taken continuously for my manic depression. None of the others worked and had 10 times the side effects of Lithium. I drink lots of water, pee more, and have a tremor in my right hand. Better than weight gain, diabetes, and stroke as a side effect-you hearing my risperdal and zyprexa??

This video didn't teach me much that I didn't already know, I take 800mgs of Lithium Carbonate a day, when I first started taking it there were bizarre side effects, but after a year it stopped, and I've never been calmer in my life. No need for an epic amount of drugs or alcohol anymore- and no more suicidal pangs. I find it messes with my vision occasionally which is odd. I also have never been diagnosed with bipolar, disorders and medications arn't always synonymous. Happy medicating everyone
