bipolar disorde
"I commenced lithium in 2012 as I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder. Initially starting it wasn't great fun- I experienced a lot of side effects (nausea, tremors, twitching, involuntary lip/tongue biting, vomiting, diarrhoea and thirsty as hell). But today I still take the lithium and I am happy. I work full time and live a fulfilling life. I do experience nausea from time to time which is why I stick to drinking the lithium at night time as it makes me sick to move around too much after drinking it. All in all, happy with it. Sadly I have missed doses at times (no more than 2 days in a row) which brings back some of the side effects when taking it again."
