bipolar disorde
"I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder 18 months ago and put on lithium 600mgs a day and Seroquel 300mg at night.  The lithium has been wonderful to stabilize my moods and keep me from feeling so down and depressed. I eventually weaned myself from the Seroquel because it made me lethargic and I had weight gain that I contributed to it not the lithium.  I now exercise - run 3 miles a day to help me release any pent up anger or negative energy and it works wonders.  Lithium maybe one of the oldest bi-polar medicines but it is tried and true."
