Reviewer: 55-64 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Consumer)
Effectiveness
Ease of Use

Comment:
It stabilizes my mood but far too many side effects. The worst is muscle spasms and cramping in my feet and hands. I don't see that as a listed side effect but it is for me. Stopped taking it for awhile because of that. Started again and frequent muscle spasms returned

Comment:
Have taken Lithium in combination with Depakote and my systems have been relieved for 17 years and it has allowed me to live a very productive life. Prior to taking I was taking a tricyclic anti-depressant which only made things worse.

Comment:
I have control over my Bipolar Disorder. Lithium allows me to slow down and think clearer and make better thoughts. Law abiding thoughts. I get to see the outcome before I do something.
