Title: lithium
Post by eileen on Feb 28^th, 2003, 9:37am

???Is lithium suppost to make you like tired or not feel like doing anything? It is hard to explain I just don't want to get out of bed. Is this right? I am hoping once I get to the right dose and I level off it will change. Anyone out there with little words of advise?

:) I have suffered from Cluster Headaches, eposodic, for over 32 yrs. Last year I was in a terrible cycle that had lasted for more than 4 months. I finally got some Lithobid and it changed my life on the very first dose.

I have not noticed an changes as far as depression or lackof get up and go.

I take one tablet, 300MG, per day. I take it only when I am near a potential cycle. I have been Headache-Free now for 13 months!!

I took 900mg of lithium for 1 1/2 yrs. It did not make me tired and it did not help with my depression that I had along with the clusters.
