    Thank God for lithium... if not for it I'd still be thinking I was the chosen one... like a Latin Jesus Christ... Esteban Christ 😅

    don't take lithium unless you're experiencing an episode. That stuff will turn you into a nice zombie

    Lithium has destroyed my heart to the point that I now have a pacemaker. I'm changing to something else now.

    Step 1: make sure you have a correct diagnosis. Always question the accuracy of your diagnosis. 40% of bipolar diagnosis is wrongfully

    I was on Lithium for 4 years. Ended up giving me a hand tremor. Stopped lithium and put me on olazapine and haliperidol. Good luck people.

    ok, this is amazing! I figured out what was going to happen after you mentioned uric acid (after having watched a video about lithium chemical properties to make batteries)! I love the pure simplicity of the solution in an alkali metal.
