that's intreting, i've gotten all my covid shots, vaccine and also the booster shot. So, i found out, im staying on lithium, my doctor does not want to go back up on prozac and said staying on lithium. She told me if depression continues would move to 900mg. I'm on 600, yes i did notice a improvement or lift in mood after about 3 weeks. I notice when im sitting down and take afternoon lithium, or at night, there is a calming feeling. When i was in the hospital there was a friend i met, they were on 1800mg. They were bipolar I and had a manic episode that put them in the hospital, told me they had to take ativan, lithium, to stablize. You said lithium is nueroprotective, i've been having sleep deprivation, and i take lithium and notice relief during the day, from depression fatigue. I've had sleepless nights, that happen randonly. But lithium protection from covid, maybe that will be my vaccine against covid lol. It makes me less skittish, and doing dumb things in the moment, brings back down to earth. It was used for depression, but i notice yes lithium makes me not do dumb manic things, in the moment.
