> I have a question francesco. Are you taking anything else along with the lithium? Lithium can make anti-depressants work for some people and maybe that is the stupid feeling you are having. That is if you mean stupid in the way you are acting. Or do you mean as in stupid like you can't read or concentrate kind of stupid.
I'm not taking anything else at the moment but I quit Parmodalin (an italian med that mixes Parnate with Stelazine) some days ago after a five days trial. I mean stupid in the way I'm acting, I'm not that sharp anymore, I can't understand people's feelings in the same way I did before. I have a very conflictual relationship toward meds, they actually improve my syntoms but change my personality in ways I don't like. Yes, meds change personality, and they cannot not do it, since they change your brain. So, it's a life choice, taking meds or not to take them, and for me it's crucial. I'm sick not to able to make this choice once for all.
