"i have to say lithium has change my life for the good. i started taking this med, just 5 days ago and it&#039;s like i got my life back. i have paranoid schizophrenia and major depression and borderline personality disorder. the past 8 years were literally like hell on earth for me. i&#039;ve tried so many different medication and nothing really worked for me. the first time i took my lithium i felt like more in tuned on what&#039;s going on. now i&#039;m on day 5 and my racing thoughts are pretty much gone. my depression is vanishing. my voice&#039;s are at a minimum. my anixiety from going out in public has been getting better and better. it actually boost&#039;s my confidence. my energy level has gone way up. i&#039;m generally more happier and more at peace."
