"i commenced lithium in 2012 as i was diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder. initially starting it wasn&#039;t great fun- i experienced a lot of side effects (nausea, tremors, twitching, involuntary lip/tongue biting, vomiting, diarrhoea and thirsty as hell). but today i still take the lithium and i am happy. i work full time and live a fulfilling life. i do experience nausea from time to time which is why i stick to drinking the lithium at night time as it makes me sick to move around too much after drinking it. all in all, happy with it. sadly i have missed doses at times (no more than 2 days in a row) which brings back some of the side effects when taking it again."
