I’ll always think of this song by Evanescence called “lithium”. Amy Lee, the singer, is bipolar and she sings this song beautifully, so i’d like to share it here so you can listen to it while reading what i have to say about it. Listen to this masterpiece and thank me later.

Lithium is a medication mainly used to treat bipolar disorder. It’s a mood stabiliser.

My psychiatrist decided to prescribed me lithium because i am currently manic. I am showing clear signs and i really don’t want everything to go south, so i decided that lithium was the only option available. Currently, my sleep is good, i don’t have to complain about any physical symptoms either. My current medications are working, but i need something stronger to deal with my manic episode.

The usual side effects are confusion, headache, constipation/diarrhea, decreased memory, nauseas, weight gain. I didn’t experience any of these symptoms nor others. I got prescribed with 400mg and for now, i don’t feel a difference yet. I had a blood test to adjust my dosage, i am waiting for the results.

Hopefully lithium will be the solution.

Update 23/06/2023 :
– Had three blood test
– Increased the dosage to 1200mg
– Memory loss
– I still feel manic asf
