Anyone tried lithum???

[ally]

Has anyone been put on lithium? I'm having such a bad time again and this has been suggested?

[em1]

I've not been on any Meds up untill four weeks ago but if this was Suggested to you it's worth a try :)

It doesn't sound nice at all tho:( and I'm already on escitalopram and recently seroquel XL but this would be tapered off to start the lithium? it does come with lots of risks and I'd have to have weekly blood tests? I had been having some better days recently but I'm feeling so bad again? can't understand this, it just feels like I'm never going to be better like I was? it's been 7 months now:(

It takes time ally,I do understand how you feel I really do,sit down and tell your doctor how your feeling about it all and I'm sure they reasure you

I've not had very good help or support so not easy, I think I'm just being told to take things but its not getting to the route cause, I've a really hard family life too:( I just can't see an end to this? I keep saying its anxiety that's causing me to feel low and the horrible symptoms it gives me, but when I'd had these better days I thought it was easing off? But it's back again and I've not done anything different, what meds are you taking? x

Is it helping? I've been to and fro on meds and now this seroquel is meant to help with the anti depressant? I really don't like the sound of lithium and the change again as I've not been on this that long? my husband doesn't understand at all, it's so lonely, x

Yes it's helping me so much,and I've not even been on it long at all,yes I know what you are saying,it's hard not to understand something that you don't have,how long have you had anxiety or do have Depression etc to?
