"when i originally got sick with insomnia and mania, i was prescribed seroquel. 5 years later was admitted to the hospital and a student doc suggested i try lithium. 

it kills fast onset mania quickly and fortunately have minor ill effects from it. lost precision hand eye coordination for playing sports like baseball, that&#039;s the only issue i have had with it. and minor sun sensitivity.

its also good being a natural substance on the table of elements so it&#039;s not a synthetic medicine.  

very lucky to be on a low level that works so no need for constant blood monitoring."
