Well , I didnt even take the Cymbalta I was given .... I was afraid! Imagine a former pill popper afraid to take a pill? Wow. I didnt wanna take it because I heard so many people have unfortunately had very serious side effects. (not scaring any of you who are on it this is just what i heard)
Ive attempted suicide many many times so I dont need anything trying to bring back those feelings.
I went to my doctor for my medical dextox from Vicodin. I told him and based on my history of mental illness, he suggested I take Lithium.
Now, I didnt know I was that bad. I mean yes my moods tend to jump alot but not as much that would warrant Lithium. Im not Bipolar, I have major depressive disorder, Anxiety Disorder and Boarderline Personality Disorder. (for those who dont know what that is it's a disorder given to people who self-mutilate and have a distorted view of themselves with intense fear of abandonment)
Im not asking whether or not I should take this, Im not asking for medical jargon .. thats not the questions im asking... im asking the people on here who might be taking Lithium right now I would like for you to share your stories with it and give me a little background on maybe what possibly expect.
Not feeling alone is important
Thank you all.
