Colin,
At first I also took lithium carbonate and it did help me. But after the doc switched me to lithobid I seemed to get less of a "groggy" feeling in the afternoon. Maybe a spacey feeling is a better descripton. I actually noticed it more when I went back to Li carbonate, it just didn't seem to work for me anymore. I started back on the lithobid and was fine. This same doc also insisted I take name brand name meds,no generic versions. He was a good doc, but he had a uppty ass attitude and just up and left when he had some health problems. He also suddenly refused to let a relative send me my lithobid to Japan. I had done it for 6 months and with no explanation he became a rude prick. Also refused to give refferals to all patients. He had a great handle on meds, but he had no bedside manner at all. He didn't like ssri's because he had many people that they pooped out on. That is why I am leary of ssri's.
Hope you get to feeling better. I have had a pretty rough week, just wakig up early as hell and really dog tired and bumping into walls a lot. Take care my friend.
