Question/Comment:
My doctor has me on this so I can sleep I only take 25mg but some days I can not wake up I am tired and can not function the next day. So I try to take it every other day, this worked for a little while but I started to loose my concentration at work, not remembering my daily routine at work, when I have been doing it for over 4 years.

Question/Comment:
I am a 57-yr old MALE Vietnam Veteran whose PTSD, vivid nightmares and insomnia are well-controlled with QUETIAPINE. There has been some weight gain on this medication, but I think it is more due to inactivity than anything else. I have to boot myself up and get out more often and engage in physical activity on a more regular basis. All in all, the negatives are outweighed by the positives of this medication.

Answer/Reply:
I believe your doctor has the answer for you. I strongly suggest you ask about the side effects of taking lithium. I have friends who are taking lithium for treating bi-polar started 8 years ago. Her doctor told her ahead of time that if she decided to take or she needed to take lithium, she will stick w/ the pill the rest of her life, plus other side effects. My friend agreed after listening to all the pros and cons from her doctor. And of course, she was getting serious at the moment. Recently, a doctor told me that there is another type of medication to treat bi-polar. It's a combination of 2 medications: Zyprexa and 1 other drug. You should ask your doctor.
