on lithium now (Read 2086 times)

Bri13 CH.com Newbie Offline I Love CH.com! Posts: 12 Gender:	on lithium now Jun 7^th, 2011 at 6:02pm Well my man started lithium recently. Now instead of getting a headache everyday he gets them every other. We are hoping he is going to get to go to a headache specialist soon. Insurance stinks. His seem to be chronic he has never had a remission period since we've been together that's been over a year now.

Lithium has been my prevent for many years. I started at 900 mg a day and it blocked 70-80% of my attacks. As I've aged, (51 now) we've kicked the dose up to 1200 a day and it blocks closer to 60-70% of my attacks. Typical of the beasts ability to morph around your meds! Angry

Takes a good 2 weeks to become effective for me. Hope it works as well for him.
