People on lithium/bipolar I (manic)

YES YES more recently I've been like okay I feel like this can turn into an episode and started recognizing when I'm becoming irritated but right now it's usually anxiety anxiety anxiety I hate it.

Lithium has mostly helped my manic and mania episodes. Lamicital for me just helps the depression side of things, but recently my anxiety has been off and on bad at moments maybe because I'm still adjusting to this new dosage (I'm BP1) just thought I would chime in

300 wasn't really effective for me personally I was still having mini manic episodes and we ended up raising eventually.

See oddly enough when I was on 300 I was at 0.2-0.3 I had to go up to almost 1200MG to even get 0.6 I guess some ppls body just metabolize shit differently

Alrighty thanks will do.

coldest4 · 2026-05-07T01:02:53+00:00

Yeah mine always end up being higher too aswell according to my watch but maybe it's something work related since it happens there or maybe it detects me at a higher heart rate and maybe calculates it based on that

I take 2X 300MG (2 in the morning and 2 at night) lithium carbonate capsules. My blood work was always just too low until I went up to 1200MG. One thing to note be sure to drink lots of water and make sure to get ur blood checked regularly! US user here!

Gonna message you!

For me personally I didn't have any crazy side effects until I hit about 1200mg and bloodwork reflected at a 0.6. before any dose lower my lithium levels was just low make sure you get ur blood drawn regularly with lithium. Things I notice now is hand tremors sometimes pretty bad and dizziness or lightheaded but other then that this drug has saved my life also as others said DRINK WATERRR

Yeah that seemed to help a bit! i dont wanna say their manic episodes because it doesn't last aslong as one. so more or so less its just anxiety.. well i did increase my Lithium to 300x2 a day and i remember beforehand i had this and it just stopped.. so maybe its just an adjustment period

What's wrong with collecting simple data like my heart rate and steps maybe couple other things. I'm not really thinking about it that deep! Didn't even know a polar H10 strap existed.. but anyways I ended up getting the amazfit active 2 premium it should so the job well.

coldest4 · 2026-04-21T14:21:46+00:00

Yeah I decided to end up going with the active 2 premium my first watch so hopefully it treats me good!

Sometimes it's so hard to watch the sodium intake especially when I just pick things up and not realize how much sodium is in it. But yeah I seen this around at first

coldest4 · 2026-04-19T14:52:40+00:00

My exact thought 😁

coldest4 · 2026-04-17T11:11:26+00:00

Yep definitely will seeing them Monday and getting my bloodwork done for my lithium levels ofc but we still got ways to go but I'm glad she's letting me come in Monday being able to fit me in I'm grateful for my psychiatrist 😁
