"i have been on lithium for 5 months now. worst part is feeling so flat on it. i take lithium 900mg, zyprexa 10mg and lorazepam 1-2 mg daily. i do feel the lithium is working, but my moods are still not stable. i hope things level out more for me. i have been on carbamazepine for 17 years, and it just stopped working."
