    Sad to hear that lithium didn’t work for you. I have zero side effects luckily, except hypothyroidism for which I take L-thyroxin, and have zero side effects again.

    Have you found meds that work for you?

    I tried many meds before lithium In order

    • Quetiapine. Due to psychotic mania . Worked like a charm
    • Aripiprazol. As a replacement for the Quetiapine. Because I had depression and no energy. Worst medication I’ve ever tried. I didn’t make it past the first 3 days due to severe akithisia combined with being really tired and sedated. Pure agony holy shit. Stopped it and back on Quetiapine again.
    • Lamotrigine. Didn’t work at all. Even with 325mg daily my serum levels were way too low.
    • Escitalopram. It worked a little bit against the depression, but my QT time was prolonged so I had to stop.
    • Lithium. I was hospitalized, and we decided to try Lithium. First they fastly tapered me off of Lamotrigine. Then started Lithium. It works perfectly. I don’t wanna say it and jinx it but I really feel like I’m cured. Euthymia is nice.

    Right now I’m on 675mg Lithium, 300mg Seroquel XR, and 50mcg L-thyroxin.

    I’ve learned a lot over the 7 years I was on reddit actively.

    I feel like I know every random thing about the USA and it’s cultural aspects etc. So much so that when I talk to someone from the USA I I know all things necessary to seem like I’m from the USA too.

    A nuanced view about all things that can happen when you take drugs, general dosages with their effects (which is more nuanced than just looking at psychonautwiki or comparable)

    Learned to have a better sense of empathy for difficult things for others that aren’t difficult for me

    Learned to know when to disengage a conversation when the other person is acting in Bad faith
