Days 7 & 8:
I realize that the last week or so has also been a process of getting lithium out of my body. Symptoms include dizziness, constipation, varying levels of energy. My skin is clearing up (who gets pimples on their shins?). Weight is steady if not decreasing.
Seroquel is still knocking me out every night, but I still find myself waking up after 3-6 hours. Not quite enough sleep. I've been taking .5mg lorazepam when I wake up in the middle of the night. I am able to get a few more hours of rest that way.
I did not take my multivitamin with B-complex for a few days. Energy level dropped and I even felt a bit depressed. Yesterday I took it again and felt better. Went for a run/walk. It's humbling how unfit I am after years of smoking and other sorts of abuse and lethargy.
