It sounds like the lithium could be working for you. I take 600mgs of lithium (it's all my body can handle). It seems to take the edge off, although it certainly is not a be-all-and-end-all drug for me.

Mostly it seems to curb the severe agitation that I used to get. I've been on it for about a year and a half.

There is one major pitfall though: it causes a pretty severe tremor. My hands constantly shake and tremble. My handwriting has become worse. It's embarrassing when I think people can notice my hands shaking. But at this point I don't dare go off of lithium. I tried once and it was a disaster.

Good luck! I hope it continues to help you.
