this is the most retarded question ever, im actually bipolar and taking lithium without a prescription, I'm completely aware of the risks to the KIDNEYS and THYROID (you retard you kinda need those) and to make sure i dont FUCK my body without the required blood tests i have to take breaks every so often and keep a low as fuck dose. i weigh 120 lbs as well, another reason i regulate a low dose. i have 150 mg caps and i alternate between taking 1 and 2, and on days where i feel fine-as in im not pissed off at the world or extremely depressed- i DONT take it.
also, thinking you can take it to help you come down is fucking stupid. yes it can take up to a month to become effective i still feel better after 1 day, why? because im BIPOLAR. and i dont feel awesome after i day i just START to feel more level, like everything my friends say may not actually be a personal insult.
thats another thing, paranoia is part of bipolar, so is narcissism. these are contributing factors to mania, which clearly you dont fucking have.
honestly, as someone who actually needs to take lithium to be able to FEEL like everyone else, im pretty offended. hey guess what, didnt take my pill today, if i dont tomorrow ill get more offended by you, so ill prob take it. also good for when i have to do something where i cant be an introvert, like when i have to perform at a show (musician).
interesting how my reaction is a direct result from bipolar and lithium use.
i cant even take any SSRIs or SSNRIs (yep i know my mental health drugs) because im so fucking skinny, a normal persons dose of effexor had me throwing up for about...12 hours straight (plan on throwing up if you do lots of lithium, i take mine with pantaloc so i dont puke)
plus if i take antidepressants it fucks up my bipolar even more.
i wish i didnt have to take it or something else would work.
THE ONLY REASON IT MAKES ME FEEL AWESOME IS BECAUSE ITS RELATIVE TO HOW I FELT BEFORE!
fact of the matter is, if i didnt have to, if i could feel like you, i wouldnt take it.
