Doing better

Posted by linkadge on February 17, 2004, at 9:34:59

I am taking Lithium and Depakote. I am doing somewhat better than when I was on celexa.

I do feel more like myself.

I am concerned about liver and kidney problems but hopefully I can keep my mind at ease with regular monitoring.

That's great news! (nm)

Hi,

The last time I saw your threads you'd made yourself a Transcranial Magnetic machine and that was working well.

Did it stop working?

Thats great !!!!
Im trying lithium also and have had similiar concerns. I figure all these meds have potential risk damage to my liver or kidneys.
If it is any consolation, I have a friend that has been on it for 5+ years, she swears by Lithium, and you couldnt pry it out of her hands.
Keep us informed.
best

I'm so glad! (nm) » linkadge

Well my mom has been on lithium 25-30 years. I just assume her kidneys are doing ok, but I really don't know.

As far as the TMS goes. It certainly works, but it only lasts 4 months or so.

Whenever I feel better, I have a little more common sence, and I want to hold off on the radical treatments for a while. I will use it again if necessary, but I'd like to do more research about the effects of it.
