cyclothymic disorde
"Ok, we all know that people respond differently to meds BUT this is my story.  I was on the verge of losing my husband of 24 years.  Feeling I had hit rock bottom I decided to see 1 more doctor.  I had taken every antidepressant under the sun in the last 20 years for "anxiety and depression" and I had high hopes every single time.....nothing was working and I was getting worse.  My doctor started me on lithium 300mg twice daily.  I can honestly say I felt a huge difference after the first 24 hours.  My mind was QUIET and I felt calm.  No racing thoughts, no panic attacks, no overthinking anything.....just peace.  I have been on it for 2.5 wks now and I FINALLY feel normal again.  I am more considerate and loving to my family <3"
