In reply to lithium- initial effect then apathy, posted by linkadge on October 30, 2005, at 16:51:11
Sorry to hear that link. Lithium takes the very dangerous extremes off of my BPI, but not my ability to enjoy life. I can laugh my *ss off and feel like sh*t just like most people. It causes no detectable alteration of cognition or mood for me. One thing I have noticed is, I don't get really stupid drunk, by that I mean I don't get that euphoria when initially high (though my central nervous system is undeniably impaired). It's a life saver for me but may not be the medication of choice for you or for BPIIs. I tried Lamictal and it didn't help lift my mood at all. I hope you find something to your liking.
