I am fairly new to taking lithium so I am still learning. My problem is the last 3 days I have been getting increasingly irritated by the littlest thing, today feeling like I am just about to explode into a complete rage. Along with this is a growing scatter-brained head and focusing probs. All this is for no apparent reason, as nothing in my environment has changed recently. What I am wondering is if it could be the result of too much sodium in my diet lately on top of my meds. I ask because I noticed that my irritability was going up after I ate a bowl Chinese food that had lots of soy. After noticing this I realized that I had been eating soy much more than normal the past few weeks and so this could be the problem.
Is this the problem? If it is what do I have to do? I have cut out the sodium rich diet but don't really want to give up my favorite food forever. Any help or insights on this would be greatly appreciated.
