Hello.
BP type 1 here. Diagnosed about 10 years ago, I am now mid 30's. I was BP in my late teens though but not diagnosed.
Tried lithium and at 300 mg went toxic. Was always throwing up. Couldn't stop sleeping when I wasn't throwing up.
Went down to 150 mg. Same side effects only less but Lithium had no positive effect. This was all in 1997.
In 2002, had a new PDOC who insisted I try it again and you will never guess what happened? The same bloody thing ... imagine that! Grrrr.
Needless to say it's not the med for me. I'm trying to find the right MS. I started trileptal about a month ago and still titrating upwards.
