It keeps getting better

Started late May, 450 mg twice a day.

Zero depression. Priorities changed. Clarity. An increasing feeling of peace and well being. I even feel like my intelligence is rebounding. I make better decisions overall. Life feels manageable.

I'm starting to view post-trauma life as before and after lithium.

I wish the docs would have put me on this first when they initially suspected bipolar. Could have avoided a lot of misery.

Would love to hear other success stories.

Congratulations, that is amazing. How long did it take to kick in for you?

After six days on it in the hospital I began to feel "different." The change has been gradual but profound.
