Can you guys elaborate a bit? Do you feel Lithium didn't allow you to enjoy things in life?

I've only been on a minimal dose (900 to 1200 mg) since last Aug. The goal was to prevent me from going manic but I've done that twice since anyway. I haven't felt as though it's really prevented me from enjoying things but that's possible since the breaks w/ reality make it impossible for me to remember what I felt like before. [Especially when during one of the episodes (God-Mode) I decided it a good idea to pop 20+ 300mg pills of Lithium, 20 or so pills of Nardil, 7 Vicadin, along with some beer and THC......almost didn't wake from that one]

Anyway, at the moment I'm actually feeling good with just Lithium and Remeron. However, I'm not sure if the Lith is helping or just dampening the Remeron. I'm with a new pDoc and I'm certain he is going to keep me on a mood-stabilizer due to my recent history. I tried Serequel for a few days and thought it almost too grounding for me. I'm a singer/songwriter when I can be (acoustic guitar) so I'm always scared the stabilizer stuff will thwart the crazy-creativity I have a love/hate relationship with...

Either way I'd love to hear your negatives about Lithium since I haven't brought it to trial in my mind yet.

Cheers,

-Jay
