Hello everybody: I hope all is well or soon will be for everyone. I have noticed some Lithium questions on the board lately and just wanted you all to know that after my doc appt yesterday, I am now taking lithium with my moclobemide and clonazepam as augmentaion. I noticed a difference after the first pill but after the second I felt totally wasted and loopy. My Dad let me test drive his new car and I drove so fast and so crazy it was stupid, but I loved every minute of it. I got giddy, silly and started acting like a nut. I danced in the street-literally-and drove the car with the window down and my head and shoulders sticking out howling at the moon and screaming at the top of my lungs at everything. I was effectively behaving as if I were drunk. Don't get me wrong, I liked the feeling. I felt gloriously uninhibited and free but I think it might lead to dangerous actions in the future. For once, I had peace in my head. I wasn't thinking at all.
So, I guess I'm wondering if this is a normal reaction to lithium and it will soon calm down when I become accustomed to the drug or is something terribly wrong with me or my reaction to the drug??
Thanks guys
Peace and hugs
Tina
PS: Taking lithium because recently been diagnosed bipolar II atypical depression
