Lithium

I'm kind of curious if anybody here has tried this for experimentation? I was prescribed it when I was younger not knowing what it does besides balance me out...And I thought I was cool because 'I found my friends; they're in my head'.
Anyway, I found it the other day and I still have a shit load of it and I didn't know if it's any fun or if it needs to be left alone. I don't keep up with pharmaceuticals

 

Lithium is a mineral salt.. its has zero recreational value..

 

Cool. Thanks for the info.

 

Librium is what your after.. its a benzo, Its been confused by others with lithium.. no biggie..

 

Lithium is awesome for getting fucked up on sanity

I have Bipolar Schizoaffective Disorder and have taken Lithium for two periods of time (each about 6 months) in my life. While it DID help my agitation and, to some degree, my psychosis, the side-effects far outweighed the benefits. I would be shaking/trembling so severely that I literally had strangers come up to me asking if I (a 23 year old) had Parkinson's. My thoughts were also so clouded that I could not function in my job as a mathematician. I had to take a semester of graduate studies and teaching off because of it!

Lithium should only be used if you have a severely disabling mental illness (I mean, you are so badly afflicted that you can't even function) and can also handle the side-effects. I now take Zyprexa (an antipsychotic) for my psychosis and agitation, and it works much "smoother" and "gentler" without as many side-effects.

 

@etkearne, have you tried Geodon ?, its like a ziprexa/rispidal combo. from what I gather..

 

Yes. I tried it for a brief period of time in an emergency setting. I found it to be almost identical to Zyprexa. I think that Geodon, Zyprexa, and to some extent Seroquel are more tolerable than Risperdal and the 1st Generation products. I just take the Zyprexa since I get very few side-effects from it, miraculously.

 

I wonder if the Thiophene makes the benzo less active in ziprexa.. tbh Ive never seen anyone calmed by zyprexa. but I havent worked in the hospital setting for a few yrs now.. i used to take intrest in the patients meds lol really when the docs and staff leave at night all they have are a few nurses and security to chat to..

 

I can tell you from personal experience, that Zyprexa is the most powerful antipsychotic I have been given. I have been in full blown delirium with strong auditory and paranoid hallucinations, ALONG with severe suicidal ideation, and after taking 20mg of Zyprexa (usually with 2mg of Klonopin), I was put to sleep and woke up miserable, but not dangerous anymore. 20mg is a huge dose, though for outpatient settings. I take 7.5mg per night for maintenance treatment.

 

no haldol or risperdal?.. I took a few risperdals to get a better understanding of anti pscyotic actions.. Ill never do that again. It wasnt very nice.. took about 4mg and was paralyzed like, jaw cramps, couldnt walk when it hit me I was in this hotel and while the cramp set in I grabbed a hand rail and ripped it out the wall from concrete morning..

 

I find Risperdal and the two or three 1st Generations that I have taken to be strongly zombie-fying, but at the same time incredibly unsettling. I would have akathisia and extreme tension in my mind and body. Only the ones that I mentioned above seem to take away the pure psychosis AND reduce general misery too.

 

That's fucking crazy. I would've broke into the chest I locked all my shit into awhile back and lost the key.

 

The Wyndham Grand hotel didnt look so grand with that railing ripped from the walls in the lobby....

 

Yes. Just plenty of good reasons why the 2nd Generation Antipsychotics are much better than the old-school ones. They actually HELP the patient feel better, not just rip the persons soul out of them!

 

Try taking Lithium and LSD together, it's fun!

 

Lithium is very toxic and can kill you. It should be taken as prescribed. It has no high, nor recreational value. Please don't fuck with it.

 

I know this is a joke, but for someone who may not KNOW it is a joke, please note that this combination can land you in the hospital. They interact severely and negatively.

 

Antipsychotics turn you into a zombie. Did not want to wake up in the morning. Took hours (literally) to get out of bed. They make you stupid and just completly out of it. So you have no energy for a manic episode i guess. that my experience with the stuff. I had resperidal and seroque i think it wasw and a cocktail of anti deppressants, benos, n opiatesl. i think those pills permanelty fucked me up. that stuffs nothing to take lightly or fuck around with
