Those reviews report it as everything from a miracle drug to a potential killer. Some had similar experiences to yours.

I have not been prescribed lithium as part of my depression treatment but I did have serious reactions to most all anti-depressants my shrink tried, and much later discovered the dosages were too high for my system. Even at 75, my chemistry reacts to many drugs much like a child's system would, so I need lower dosages.

I hope you can relay your issues to your doctor and it may be you are also sensitive, or perhaps you're having a drug or supplement interaction from something else you take.

Best of luck to you.....
