"i am bipolar ii. my problem is the severe depression. i have taken antidepressants in the past which didn&#039;t work. i don&#039;t have hallucinations or hear voices, but my depression is so severe that it feels like i have bugs crawling inside my brain. the top of my head feels like a heavy brick is sitting on top, and i experience numbess in my head and throughout my extremities. i believe i do experience delusional thought patterns combined with guilt. after adding lithium to my antidepressant, imipramine, my breakdowns are eliminated. it can take several weeks for these meds to lift the symptoms. i actually get better everyday until i am well, again.



lithium in combination of imipramine has saved my life! side effects aren&#039;t bad. lifesaver!"
