I was diagnosed with Bipolar I when I was 16, (upon having my 1st manic episode requiring in-patient hosp.) I took lithium carbonate for more than 30 years.

I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder when I was 6 years old and this vile substance was forced down my throat for 11 years. The end results during my formative years, and current health/future health were disastrous.

I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and my physician told me that Lithium would help me sleep. He had me on 900 milligrams at night. What a nightmare. Even though I was able to sleep, the side effects were impossible to live with. The tremors were constant, and once I slowly decreased and eventually stopped taking lithium, all the tremors stopped and now I am taking 5-htp which is way better than wellbutrin, and now looking at other supplement alternatives for staying focused and relieving some of the panic attacks.
