hello -

I need some help with this stuff. I took it for about 6 months and had mixed experiences. Was taking 1 a day, then up to 2, then back down to one. I recently tried coming off all together due to side effects. Basically over the 6 months I gained about 6 pounds, started feeling tired and cold all the time. I take lots of magnesium with it, and eat very well (I eat plenty of whole foods - low carb mostly). I got scared and came off. Now if I try to get back on it, I get extremely irritable, and have insomnia. I can't find anybody else's experiences matching mine - so I was doubting myself. However, I am now back to being extremely anxious during the day which the lithium did sort out eventually. What is going on? Has anybody any advice to give me. I take other supplements including zinc and B vitamins - I know a lot about orthomolecular medicine - have read a lot of books, so I was surprised at my reaction. Now I am out of options as I have tried everything! Please help - thanks.
