So new doc introduced Lithium.... never had it before. [View all]

He also replaced my Abilify with Geodon, and my Prozac which was making me manic with Serzone. Left my trazodone and prasozin as is.

Any tips on how to make it suck less? I'm already drinking as much water as I can, and peeing like a racehorse. So far the only thing the combo has done has been to make me feel like a zombie, but I hope in the next week or two that will pass.
