"my whole life i have struggled with bipolar disorder having  unstable moods and severe bipolar depression. i have been on tons of different medications for it. all of them has crazy side effects and none seemed to work. a month ago i got prescribed lithium and it seems to be working super well. i don&#039;t have as much up and down moods and i notice my racing thoughts have gone away for the most part. things that used to bother me barely bother me anymore and i kind of just go with the flow of things now. the only down side of this medication is it makes me feel a little irritated at times and doesn&#039;t help with my anxiety as i was hoping. but as for bipolar disorder, i highly recommend this medication."
