Medication help: bi polar help and med ? - Help.com

it is a very delicate drug. i worked in a psych hospital for years and it tends to be a riskier drug because the level changes are so minute yet they cause big changes. so the trick with lithium is to find your correct dosage which can be testing. it tends to be a last ditch effort if other medications don’t work. i just remember the doctors and nurses i worked with - didn’t like administering lithium to the teens and children. and it usually resorted to completely detoxing the child without any medications and starting again. good luck with finding your balance. remember to drink lots of water and eat right. and breathe. things will balance. :)

well good luck to you. i think its worth a shot. just watch your symptoms and yourself closely - i think you will know pretty quickly if its right for you.

take care
