Anybody ever take Lithium? I’ve been taking it for 2 1/2 weeks now. My moods seem to be more stable but I am also more depressed. Though the depression could be from my current life situation I suppose. I’ll talk to my doctor but I was just wondering what others experiences have been.

How long will we have to live with the idea of taking medicines after we got cured ? I have a friend who is very well and in good condition. But he was told that he would need regular doses for another 2 years. It was so depressing by itself. If someone is alright, what is the point of taking...

Is anyone on or has taken Mitrazipine?

I'm on a low dose at the moment (15mg) but my GP wants me to up my dose to 30mg. I don't even like being on the low dose, but I am still considering increasing it as advised.

Thanks!
