Long term emotional effects from prolonged lithium use... Curious about such.. Can we or do we evenutally end up "emotionally flatlined" so to speak ?? I have heard rumors that long term use results in an emotionless semi-permanent to permanent state. I have tried the lith a few times now. Longest I've managed to stick with it is about 6 months.. I'm 29 and struggling to say the least. Frustrated by lack of options at this point, and still struggling with the realization I'm going to be battling this the rest of my life. Still having a hard time with the fact that I may always need medication. I would like to hear from everyone. Positives and negatives. Personal feelings as well as any educational info anyone may have available. Frustrated with the fact that the only info I've been able to find regarding long term use is regarding the endocrine system, and thyroid.. Thank you for taking the time and any additional info I welcome to my inbox @ phat_girl_goddess@yahoo.com thanx, and have a good day ! Shelly
