Lithium can change the personality according to my primary and according to the psychiatrists at the hospital especially if given to someone such as myself... It would simply cause my creativity and the bits and pieces that make me who and what I am to flatline and no more creative highs and crashes when things ended or didn't work...
it is like any other drug...
has different effects for different things...the idea had been to give it to me to stop the manic highs that were considered to be manic depressive when the manic highs were actually something that were my creative being simply flying high on success...
and that would have disappeared... I**** would have disappeared so to speak....kat
