Lithium rules my world with a little cymbalta mixed in for flavoring. I think everyone you try it at least once....

I was on Amblify for a while but I took it in the mornings. I take Seroquel at night and it really helps w/ the sleep. My Bp really acts up when I miss a lot of sleep and makes me manic. Hope that helps.

lithium is the only drug that keeps me from reaching extreme mania and depression i have been on it since may and on the same doseage and it has still proven to work really good for me it just the first couple of months are the hardest it took me that long just to get used to the medicine

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
