I've been prescribed Lithium Carbonate 150mg Capsules for my bipolar disorder. I've heard it can be a game-changer, but the list of side effects is terrifying. Has anyone here had a positive experience with this medication? How often do these serious side effects actually occur? Any tips for managing them if they do? I'm really struggling with the decision to start taking this. My doctor is confident it will help, but I'm scared of the risks.
