"PSA: Lithium does NOT mix well with hallucinogens of any kind!! (tl;dr: had a real bad acid trip, do not recomment) I take 500 mg of lithium carbonate 2x a day. I've been on it for just about 3 months and it has been craycray. I take lithium, wellbutrin xl 300mg, and vyvanse 60mg. I have found that I no longer want most of my vices like cigarettes and alcohol I don't have much of an appetite, I am thirsty a lot, it is a salt based form. Changes to my mood and behavior have been subtle but good. I do feel more serious in my everyday attitude, but I have the personal oomph to take on the day to day issues of adulthood. I don't experience mood swings. I'm not suicidal, but theres been days where it would be nice to dissolve into the earth. That feeling just, kinda, went away."
