I have had an awful 2 twos weeks of up/down. BP mixed state - also taking Lexapro 10mg daily and started Lithium 5 days ago 750mg nocte:
Today: I feel normal. not up or down, no anxiety, no agitation. Just normal (from what i can remember)
I feel a bit flat: like I can see happiness and feelings when I hear people talk or what TV but am slightly less reactive to them - perhaps dont feel it as much.
I AM FEELING CALM - the calmest in a long time. It feels so good to be calm. My mind is not driving me crazy.1. Does this sound like my lithium is beg to work?
2. What did other people first notice short term when starting lithium.
3. Does it poop out like SSRI and you need to take a higher dose?
4. Can I expect to become more flat than I am now (it is ok now)?
5. Has anyone had problems with pimples/acne?
6. Any other positive stories about lithium would be greatly appreciated.
