As I understand it, you are coming off 900 mg. of lithium and I just hit 900 today. Was your experience with it really awful?

Hi maryhelen,

I don't recall reading your posts before.
Thank you for your kind wishes. Lithium
is not a problem usually. I hope you like
it. I found it the greatest for depression,
barring the side effects and narrow therapeutic
index.

No, I am not coming off lithium - certainly
not after taking for 25 years. I just cut
a bit because i thought it was going toxic
and upon reistatement got severe dyspnea
and cardiac-seeming effects. But, this time
they were so bad, and so intense, like 6
heart attacks a day, that I think i also
cut on my clonazepam dose by mistake.

Stevie Nicks is known to have said that
getting off K is harder than heroin. And
when I tried I did not succeed.

Good luck with the lithium - it *is* used
for unipolar so it might work.
