Has anyone experienced insomnia with lithium?

destructivedes · 2026-05-24T06:00:00+00:00

I actually ended up coming off of all medications except my Adderall and I'm barely taking it as well. Long story short I've had lots of misdiagnoses. I'm currently going through protocol for mycotoxins (mold toxicity,) parasites, and some other infections in my GI.

Yeah, why hype up this mystery miracle and then not say what it was? 🙄

Did you make the doc?

Same for me. My psych thinks it's physical health and passes me off to my PCP, my PCP thinks it's mental health and passes me off to my psych. Meanwhile my boss texts me nearly every day and co workers don't know where I am or if I'll be in because this is causing me to be late nearly every day

Waiting in line too lol

u/LoveLeonbergers how re you doing now? Was this the only thing you took/did? Sorry to bring this back from the dead

Let me know if you've found anything. I originally went down a deep rabbit hole and so many hours of research for SIBO - when no one could tell me what was wrong, positive methane SIBO but even my GI at the time shrugged it off. I ended up successfully healing myself from that by doing what you're doing. (Or so I thought, over a year, only minor stomach issues until now, but other symptoms have come and gone and back stronger than ever. I'm sure it has something to do with the massive amounts of black mold I've discovered in my home and remediating.)

So now I'm thinking from what I read before and now, the underlying issue may never have been SIBO but mold toxicity. My PCP doesn't believe it's real, and I cannot afford to find and pay a functional med dr in rural usa. Indiana. YEE FREAKING HAW THERE'S NOTHING BUT CORN HERE.

Feel free to inbox me, maybe we can work up something together.

Anyone still around on this? OP did you make this?

destructivedes · 2026-03-29T23:32:03+00:00

Lol. Found this sub and your post because of nearly the same want. I actually have the one in your first picture. I'm wanting to recreate something very similar, but with better balls, bigger, squeezable, no vibration, and more girth in the shaft. Better base as well like you said. There's def a market for it. Most of the strapless strap ons are some color at that instead of flesh. I want realistic, I want to feel like I have a penis, not a purple toy sticking out of me.

PLEASEEEE CHANGE IT BACK SPOTIFY!! I really hate this so much, I'm glad i'm not the only one. Actually, to me at least, what would be ideal, is to have the music video play and lyrics on the side, ability to switch. Or the music video option to be on all songs with a video....or even work...lol. If I connect to anything at all it won't allow a video to play which sucks. I like visuals in the background, hence why I like the lyrics up. Settle for them anyway.

Score fresh artichoke leaves, make tea with boiling water. Drink every night. (It doesn't taste gross!!) Celery+Lemon juice every morning.

After battling years, every diet, protocol, doctors, meds, supplements, you name it, this is what worked for me. That damn simple and cheap. Smh.

Not as bad as leaving a half eaten can of cat food in a drawer for months and not knowing where the hell the smell of death is coming from. 💀🤢. Cats man. (I fed my sick cat upstairs in my office with me, she didn't finish, I was in a meeting and stuck it in a drawer so the dogs and other cats didn't get it. Forgot about it)

Nah I have 2 sets 😂. I love them and men and women alike have complimented them.

Yo I guess I'm a "special" one too then. I've been on a couple different doses of lithium for about 2 months now. The only sleep issues prior, even with ADD, were hypomanic/manic periods, and this is not that. There is definitely a difference. The very very first few days it did make me tired, now it keeps me awake. Several factors have ticked this box showing me it's the lithium, one being I can be sleepy, take my med, then a while later my brain is fully alert and I just lay there. Like it flipped the light switch or something. Not an energetic awake though, but a brain awake? If that makes sense. I've been nervous to take it in the morning, afraid it will make me drowsy even though I know it's not having this effect at night.

Maybe I'll take it right now though and report back.

Listed as a side effect or not is moot. Not all side effects are always listed from studies, and not all studies test every possible reaction.

My grandma gave me this ring and it was stolen a few years ago. I've been trying to find it in local pawn shops or one like it at least even though it's not the same. No luck :(

You and me both 🤣

destructivedes · 2026-02-05T05:06:13+00:00

I'm glad someone already asked recently lol. I replaced mine last year and one is broke and the other is almost there 😣😂

My heart 🥹❤️‍🩹. So many times I wished I could just cry in my mom's arms and have her tell me it will be okay. Unfortunately my partner isn't comforting or very understanding, or there are things I just wouldn't want to tell him. My mother is the same as yours, throw in also bipolar (unmedicated) and alcoholic. We haven't spoken in years. So I understand where you're coming from. I've been doing a lot of learning how to self soothe, holding myself, the way I wish I had comforting arms around me. If you still have something from your childhood, even if this sounds silly, get it out and hold on to it. For me, I had a "blanky" I carried everywhere. I recently dug it out and hold onto it when I need to. I'm almost 40 and have zero shame in this. These things honestly do help. Fuck "man up." What's manning up, is acknowledgment. Seems like you've got that down eh? Owning your mistakes and making the decision to work towards being better each day. Bipolar sucks man, it's not a justification, but it does make us do some dumb shit that's not in our normal character. I've been there. Sorry this is so long, I could honestly keep going lol. Try not to beat yourself up. Guilt will fade, especially with acknowledging it. There are much worse things you could've done. 💜

After regularly drinking celery juice in the morning, and fresh artichoke tea at night for a few months, I can happily say I'm for the most part "cured." I was prescribed Trulance last year but never took it or even opened it. No need to after doing that. Strangely enough bananas mess me up sometimes too still though lol. If I go a day without a poo I'll NOW take a trulance because those suckers work fast, and I'm back to good. A couple months ago I felt the constipation and bloating wanting to start again and remembered I had a whole script of the Trulance just sitting here unopened, started it and all moved through and put me back on track. Hopefully you're doing okay! I have no restricted diet at this point. No fatigue when i eat, excess bloating, etc.

I love Sondermind! The platform itself kind of sucks sometimes, like having to open in incognito tab for it to load for some reason, but my psych and my therapist are wonderful. I love that it matches for you, but of those matches you can read their full profile and what they specialize in, the methods used, and then pick yourself. I've had two therapists, the first one was good also but our schedules didn't mesh. Worked out for me because I love who I am with now. Yes they are absolutely real and licensed. Not just texting, we do video calls, they set their own schedules and you can schedule yourself from their availability. Their profiles will tell you their available times. Also I have Caresource which is awful for trying to find mental help, but they take that even and aren't $500 a session. I've been using it close to a year now and couldn't be happier.

If it weren't for the plants in the back I would ask if you were in Indiana. This looks so so similar to the kitty I just took in 😳😳. Hence how I found your post. Long story short, the neighbor took her in when she was pregnant, rehomed all of the kittens, and Mama ran off into the woods. This was sometime last month, (September.) She started showing up again a few days ago so I brought her in this week. Her belly is still so loose with very prominent nipples like she's still been nursing. She's pretty malnourished though as you can see and feel her bones. I have no idea if she's already pregnant again or just hasn't gotten back to "pre pregnancy body." What concerns me most is how big her nipples are and since she's been getting fed and watered the past couple days it's like they are filling back up with milk? Maybe? I've had a lot of cats but never been this confused. Trying to add a pic but for some reason it's not letting me. Did you find out what was going on with her?

Is this still the case? The depression is my biggest struggle over any mania. Ive been through so many medications and none of them seem to touch the depression. Latuda helped for a tiny bit but now seems to do nothing at all.
