"i&#039;ve been on lithium for a month and a half and the only side effects i have is headaches. it is easily managed when keeping up on my water intake. this medicine has been a great for my bipolar 2 disorder. i haven&#039;t felt this calm in a very long time. my anxiety is at an all time low as well. my moods aren&#039;t all over the place either. i&#039;m so thankful i gave this medicine a chance. it has changed my life in the best way."
