Hi Sabino,
Glad you're responding so well to Li!. I increased from 600 to 750mg and it was a good decision. I feel more calm and it's kept my micro dose of Cymbalta stable at 8mg. It was starting to creep up because I was feeling some stress and depression creeping in and as I raised the Cym I was feeling worse, as a good bipolar would. So I figured, lower the Cym and raise the Li and it worked. I have noticed a bit a weight gain - rats - but it's good incentive to move the bod.About concentration. I have a suggestion that might work. I was also feeling dulled and dumb and realized I hadn'et been taking my normal neuro nutrients that have all the cholines in them. Got some more and once again I feel much more cognitively sharp.
The ones I get are Neuro Optimizer by Jarrow. Not cheap but worth it. I get them through www.iherb.com which has great prices. This brand has all the cholines you'll need to optimize brain's acetylcholine stores. This one gets the BCat Seal of Approval (appropriate seal barking noises here). - Barbara

And I haven't even been close to feeling well enough for a relationship in a number of years, but well, who knows on that front if this improvement holds up. All in all, I feel as close to normal as I have in many a year.
