"i have been using lithium for over a year and it really made me like a normal me again in few months. i used to be very angry, anxious, sad and suicidal. together with celexa. i was able to be like normal again but i gained 30lbs from my normal weight 110lbs. that is why i took one point off. i trained and just finished marathon. but my weight is not even a pound down. i just have my blood test done th today. will see doctor tomorrow and see if i could reduce the dose for a better weight result."
