I'm so sorry you had such a rough experience with the Lithium -- there is nothing worse than feeling horrible on it the first day. I have also been through a litany of meds, and usually have very intense side effects right away. I had a bad experience with the Lithium when I first tried it 4 years ago, but I was in the throes of post-partum depression at the time. This time when I tried it again, I didn't have many side effects at all, until this anxiety issue came up a few weeks ago (I am thinking it has to do with the increased dose, combining with other meds...)

Anyway, I give you credit for not continuing on the Lithium only to feel miserable for a few weeks and then have to get off of it. Hopefully your pdoc understands that some of us have a hard time finding the right med, and will continue to work with you.

Take care, and hang in there,
cindy


> Hi there... I took my first dose of Lithium yesterday and have the SAME PROBLEM! I also feel feverish and crappy overall. I promptly paged my PDOC and said no thanks... I'm sure she's sick of my escapades with different meds and probably thinks I'm a hopeless case... we're back to the drawing board next week...next up is depakote probably...
