Lithium usage for bipolar brothers and sisters

[RetiredArmy0513]

This won't pertain to everybody obviously but I always have questions about the correlation of lithium usage and other anabolics etc. I was diagnosed after I came back from my 3 deployments... I feel if I was diagnosed before my Army career wouldn't have went so well. The manias I had may have kept me alive sometimes and everyone thought I was just some crazy morherfucker. Now after being on lithium it is much more balanced... Instead of a roller coaster ride it's more like a car ride in the country going up and down small hills. The only thing I can see is that it may be harder to lose weight while taking lithium. I haven't heard of anything else as far as taking compounds. My doc knows I am on test and I have had a run with tren and nothing to write home about. I've tried to do a little research but it is all older stuff and people that had bad info... One person said that lithium was a benzo...if losing weight is a little harder while on it I can live with that.... Just means my diet needs to be even more spot on. So if anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it. My dosage is 1200 mg a day taking 600 in the morning and 600 at night. Th only thing I have noticed on my end is that sometimes after or during a pretty intense workout I get a little nauseas. I just want to try to see if there is a certain compound that I really shouldn't mess around with. Thanks in advance

My mother has been on lithium for many years. Actually a couple decades.

She can lose weight fine. She'll diet and drops weight like a normal person.

Not sure your dose but be careful with it. That drug effects your kidneys alot. They had to drastically decrease. My mother's dose because she was headed for dialysis.
