I was in a deep deep depression, have been on lithium for 2 weeks, and last night i started to feel manic. I don't want to sleep, I am feeling really excited, want to go go go. I thought lithium was supposed to level my moods...I sort of like the manic feeling but I know it isn't good. Does this happen when you first start a new med?

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...
Lithium can get some bad rep that's cos you mainly only hear the ones that it didn't work for.Many many more see Lithium as a wonder drug.
It may or may not have bad side effects.
I had plenty but it began working in a wondrous way in the end.
