Just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I get extreamly low which last about 3 weeks thoughts of sueicide ect. I then go through about 2 weeks of of feeling happy or paranoide, spending loads of money on stuff I dont need, cant sleep, see many prostitutes. This happens about once a month. Just think its all in my mind and need to be a stronger person, to control myself.
I've been told I need to come off citalopram and go onto lithium. I've read that lithium is really toxic and long term use can cause kidney damage. I dont really want to take lithium. I dont see how taking lithium will stop me spending money on stupid things and paying for sex. Also stop me from being paranoied ect.
Would like to hear your views from people that suffer from bipolar.
