I get so tired of the lithium because it makes me weak and shaky and a bit foggy, so, brilliantly (not) I was going to cut down on my own. Then here comes anti anxiety meds-in excess- alcohol (hey, anyone want to stop for a drink?) so I recognize that there is just going to a balance between the physical issues and what's best for my mental health. Ah well, life just has its challenges.

So, lithium back up a bit....not the worst thing in the world, right?

I've cut back my lithium 50%!!! I was taking a ridiculous level (2400 mg) and all of a sudden my therputic level was fine at 1200-wow! So happy-not so lethargic...

I want more energy! I feel so damn tired all the time. I thought the increase in sunlight with spring would help, but I sleep all the time. I am ready to ditch meds and try to just deal.

Depression sucks-I miss the high of mania......

I feel a bit overwhelmed by life right now....finances, kids, ex-husbands who don't feel the need to support their children.....life is too complicated right now.

I've been reducing my meds on my own-doc wouldn't approve, I am sure, but I cannot stand the side effects anymore. I'm so shaky that I'm always afraid I'm going to drop things and my senses are too dulled.
