My doc put me on Geodon first, and after waiting for some test results he put me on Lithium as well.  I love Lithium, and I wish I would have been put on it a long time ago.  Even if it wouldhave been used to treat my known depression I think it would have made a huge difference.  Speaking of medications, I think if I had seen my current shrink back when I was going through all these horrible manic and depressive episodes after my accident I would have probably recovered in a different way all together.  In whatever case, I am on it now and it is an amazing drug.  I guess that is why it has been used to treat bipolar disorder since the 70's.  The way it works fascinates me.    I think overall, my doc has given me the perfect meds, which I think I have mentioned in previous diary entries.    He knows what's up.  Especially in comparison to my last doctor.  I think my last doc just didn't stay so current on drugs and that sort of thing.

In any case, I love Lithium.  It works great for me.
