In reply to Lithium, Day 7--Need input , posted by Noa on December 9, 1999, at 17:15:25
hi Noa,
I noticed the immediate difference for my highs (I am a rapid cycler) and my '20 second mood swings' from my ADHD.
As for the cutting the bottom off the lows of my depressions, the effect was subtle and slow. It wasn't until I stopped taking the lithium for 3 days once, and the bottom fell out of my life, and I caught myself reaching for a handful of pills, did I realize that it must be the lithium that has stopped me from going so drastically low. Since resuming lithium, I have never gone anywhere that low again.
this is a guess Noa, but I'd give it at least 2 weeks for the depression.Goodluck! Thinking of you, Janice.
