From Cymbalta to Lithium
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.

Lithium isn't just for bipolars, it can help even things out so your lows aren't so low, and it can take the edge off. Some people still associate lithium with "omg...lithium", but it really can help people who haven't been able to find some stability/consistency.
