"i took this drug in combination with zoloft and transcranial magnetic stimulation, and ever since then my ability to write and create has just not been the same. i have been off of these drugs for a few months and these things have not returned to normal, which is quite distressing. unfortunately it&#039;s impossible to tell if this problem resulted from the lithium, the zoloft, the tms or some combination of all three. regardless of its effect on my capacity for written expression, i did not experience any relief from this medication. for instance, lithium is supposed to reduce suicidal thoughts, but i did not notice any decrease in these feelings or inclinations at all; nor did it help with sadness, motivation, etc."
