This is day six into my Lithium journey. I started taking two 300 milligram tablets of Lithium yesterday, and I took two this morning. I called yesterday for a little clarification but the Nurse at my doctor's office never returned my call. I am suppose to begin taking four tablets tomorrow, Monday.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
Okay. But how much is really the medication and how is my over worrisome active imagination; can't say. Hyper-sensitively reading into everything. Feel I'm driving myself nuts trying not to go nuts. I know I need to just take it as it comes. Stressed. Never taken meds before. Never taken meds as powerful and "damaging" as this before either. Physically (Day 6): I'm alright. My stomachs rumbling; nervous about all this or just hungry? Coffee. Not much of a breakfast person; had a banana with my two pills. Seems like even that is changing.
Starting on September 1st, with my new job as a Rehab Tech II, (a Supervisor at Life Skills workshop); the hours will be more stable: 8:oo AM to 5:oo PM. My time for taking my med can at least be better regulated that's for sure now. Funny, how we call them the "Pro-Staff" those who work in offices and have "regular hours". Weird, thinking that I myself have become one of them; a "Professional Staff Member". Strange how my job evolved into becoming my "career".
