In reply to what's experience with lithium, posted by rjlockhart37 on May 14, 2015, at 1:09:09

Effect vary from individual. Many people on this forum like lithium and function very well on it. On the other hand there are people like me who detest it. Lamictal was gentler mood stablizer for me. Lithium made me feel "lobotomized" even at small doses. I have tried the lithium orotate, even lithium mineral water with the exact same blunting effect. This made it impossible to function socially or to feel any pleasure. Also aggravated my social anxiety greatly. Literally took years to feel somewhat "whole" again. I think its all genetics. I recall seeing my mother on lithium and I really didn't see it as a positive for her. Dr. took her off after years of use and said it wasn't doing her any good.
Don't take my opinion alone. This is just my personal experience. Hope your experience is more pleasant.
