Hi I am 24 years old and have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder today.
The dr gave me lithium but I havent to start it until I have been for a blood test and heart rate test, whatever that is?
My dad is bipolar also and he says lithium makes u like a zombie?
Im scared of taking it after that and all the stories I have read, like diorreah (spelling) and hair loss?
Plus all the blood tests.
If I really dont want to take it can I tell the dr and get prescribed something else? What doesnt involve blood tests? It seems really dangerous to me I dont wanna take it.
Help please xxx
