bipolar disorde
"Lithium is for Mania.  It is NOT a mood stabilizer.  Lamictal is an awesome mood stabilizer.  Anyway, Lithium has done wonders for me!  I feel calmer on it and not so spacey and think clearer.  The only thing that I do not like is the fear of it damaging my liver and/or kidney's.  I do blood work every 3 months to get my levels and make sure everything is ok. and he did lower me once because the lithium level had gotten too high.  Also, my hair is thinner and dryer since I started it.  Not fond of that either."
