Side note. I felt embarrassed when the nurse looked at my chart and saw lithium on there. There are such a negative stigma attached to that medication and I felt her looking at me with different eyes. Like she wasn't dealing with a normal person and it makes me feel bad. She was a great nurse, I really liked her but truth be told I might be afraid of people who took those medications until I became one of them and know how it feels. I told her I had been sick for 3 1/2 years and we finally found out it was Lyme. I don't know what they think when they see my chart that I had lithium on there and then I no longer take it. Maybe they think it was a fluke thing. Hopefully.
