Anyone ever been on Lithium for major depression? Did it work at all? My psych has put me on it, might give one last try at recovery... Thanks
What's to lose at this point, right?Thanks for the reply dude, yeah been told it can help with suicidal urges so debating giving this life thing one last go...
I was on it and I gained 15 pounds in 3 weeks, but also was on olanzapine which also makes you gain weight so I'm not sure which medication it was
Yes I was on it for a year maybe. To be honest I can't really remember. I think it did help somewhat. It was mild, and I didn't have no apparent side effects. I had decided to come off most of these drugs primarily because I didn't like being on five different psych meds and I'm not sure they really helped because the problems were not just a chemical imbalance. I needed to be re-educated about why I was suffering. I needed a whole worldview adjustment. I needed to be red pilled on things that I didn't understand which were mostly simple things but if u were never taught then you won't really know why u are miserable. As human beings, we are designed to live a certain way and if you don't kind of do things correctly u will suffer more than u might otherwise. Basically a lot of the reason I was suffering was because I kept harming myself maybe not intentionally, but I couldn't seem to fix it by myself anyway. I found myself in dysfunctional relationships and situations, wrong type of job, toxic people, of course I was unhappy, I had trouble in these important areas.Anyone ever been on Lithium for major depression?

What happened? I was going to OD on lithiumThat was one of the drugs I overdosed on in my failed attempt. Not a good method for suicide. In regards to suppressing suicidal thoughts I guess like every medication it depends on the person.

To be honest I don't remember much. All I know is the next day I could barely walk, short term memory loss, heart was racing, those are the only short term after effects I can recall. Left me partially brain damaged. You should definately use another method. The meds that are prescribed nowadays aren't fit to kill sadly.What happened? I was going to OD on lithium
Lithium can do damage, but it won't kill you. No offense, but it's a horrible choice for ODing.What happened? I was going to OD on lithium
