> Well I'm now on lithium. 400mg at night. I'll check back in 1-2 weeks to let people know how it goes.
Reporting back.
End of March I began lithium 400mg. Nothing happened until little over 2 weeks ago. I thought it had kicked in. Felt a definite 'something'. Mildly psychostimulating and in a good mood.Seemed to forget about anxiety too. That lasted 3-4 days. Then it dissapeared. That was 2 weeks ago. Had a blood sample taken today so my pdoc should see the results when I see him Friday.
Was that an early sign that it could work? Why did it fade away? He told me that he will start me on a low dose- 400mg/day. So I guess that he will up the dose as long as my blood samples show no bad effects. Extremely depressed & pessimistic, severe anxiety just putting the rubbish/garbage out. I'm a complete mess. And I have to get the bus to my app on Friday. I might even have to have a drink before my appointment just to get there. Or maybe 5mg clonazepam will do it.
Such is life.
