Should i have to take lithium 150?
I recently consulted a psychiatrist because I have been struggling with prolonged grief after a breakup that happened 7–8 months ago. Since then, I have been experiencing depression, loneliness, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, and occasional suicidal thoughts. I was prescribed Paroxetine, Propranolol, Clonazepam (as needed), and Lithium 150 mg. While I understand the purpose of the other medicines, I am feeling concerned and fearful about taking Lithium 150 mg because of its potential side effects. I would appreciate a second opinion on whether Lithium is necessary in my case and whether its benefits outweigh the risks.
