Lithium is a terrible drug. As someone who was on it from 16-22, I can tell you it's the point that your doctor has given up on helping you. The benefit of mood stability from lithium are far outweighed by the long term side effects, ie: nausea, tremors, headaches. I'm almost 5 years off now and I have to use medication to ease the side effects that may be permanent from lithium. It also dull you quite a bit, the stability woks because you don't really feel much about anything. It kind of oblivion so you think you're ok, because you can't tell that you're not.
