Struggling and Seeking Advice on Lithium

I was on Lithium and it was so bad for me. I couldn't even deal with the side effects, I was so so so tired and messed up

I was on Lithium less than a year ago. I didn’t really have too many bad side effects, but being biologically female, it came with a lot of risks for me. So I requested a different medication to prevent any future issues.

I was very young when I was put on lithium and unfortunately for me it caused lots of bad side effects. Just like any medication, educate yourself on drug interactions, side effects, dosages, etc and pay attention to your body. If you feel the risks/symptoms outweigh then benefits then ask to switch meds!
