Ionic lithium
Lithium is an ancient and extremely effective treatment for manic episodes. Lithium takes one to two weeks to be effective and is ineffective for treating rapid cycling and mixed bipolar disorder. If you are taking lithium as a mood stabilizer, it is imperative that you undergo routine blood tests, as higher quantities of lithium could be toxic. Even when lithium levels are stable, physicians recommend routine blood testing because lithium levels can fluctuate for a variety of other reasons.
Possible side effects of lithium include the following:
thyroid disorders
stomach ache
Concentration difficulties
Excessive weight increase
A state of drowsiness
Seismic Vibration
Bipolar disorder is now treated with an emphasis on optimizing the dosage of mood-stabilizing medications. However, it is possible to induce a manic episode while suppressing a depressive one, and vice versa.
