"have been diagnosed since 15, am 35 now. went through copius medicines, being the medicinal guinea pig made me not want to deal with the mental health problems i faced. years unmedicated, and the destruction got to me. two years ago i slipped into the depression, i tried going back in meds. all made me sick, or flat, dizzy or angry.
last dr said lithium, at first i was scared, i heard a lot of bad things. ok, life was sooo bad, suicidal ideations were running me, so decided to try it at 300mg 3x a day. 
i started tuesday, its only friday, and my thought are clear, and i feel the best i have felt in years. any other medicine takes weeks to work. this is amazing!!!! it won&#039;t work for everyone. but for those of us it does, it us literally a life saver."
