I have used lithium for nine years, 300 mg twice a day. The first 2-3 years I went from chronic to headace free, side effects were a general slow down in my personality and reaction time to questions etc. The last four or five years it has
either lost it's effectivenes or my headaches are
much worse than before. None of the doctors I have seen think increasing the dose would help, on the other hand none of them advised that I should quit. So it looks like I will continue
using it even though for now it seems not to be helping. By the way, stay away from a salt free diet while taking lithium, salt seems to help remove the drug from you system.
