I used to be afraid of lithium until I got over the fear and tried it. I took it at night and put down a basin in case I was sick, and was expecting to wake up sometime in the following week feeling like I had had a chlorpromazine injection.
I was pleasantly surprised, the following day I was fine and it never sedated me that much. It simply put my mind back together. It took about 7 days to do that.
The only problems I had were acne and my beard hair fell out in circular patches, but I still keep it at hand in case my friends say "James, you are off again".
Hope this is of some help.
