No to Lithium

So, I'm getting off my Lithium. Am I crazy or what? Those damn shakes are not what I want to experience the rest of my life!

My doc thinks I'll be fine with the Geodon I'm already taking. She says we may need to increase it a bit, but we'll get to that.

I wonder what it'll feel like to be off the lithium? A little like freedom and uneasiness...

    I went off Lithium about three weeks ago and I am fine. I think that everyone's body and how we react is different.

    I was on Geodon and it was horrible for me...Medication seems to react in different ways to different people.

    Good luck!

    I hope Geodon works for you, I've heard good things about that one. Hope you're doing better.

    *Dreamwriter-

    Nice shoe! Thanks for the supportive words of comfort. I'm in need of it a little bit right now. I think I am feeling the effects of being sick with a fever for a month and a half and maybe the effects of a little depression.

    Anyway, thanks again. You're a lifesaver.

    *Psych Client--

    Thanks for the kind words. We'll have to see how it goes. I'll keep everyone updated on a more regular basis--especially while I'm going through this. The journal helps.

    *Mile 191--

    Thanks for saying it's lovely here. Most days I don't feel much empowerment. Today I do, thanks to your words.

    Let's share again soon.
