If the lithium was treating a bipolar disorder, it could be that you're beginning to tend toward the depressive side once more...much of what you mention are symptoms of depression. Another thing you may want to consider is your hormone levels. Check with your gynecologist. He/she should run some tests for thyroid function and basic female hormone levels.
Please do check with these professionals and not let your condition be allowed to worsten. You don't want to be facing a serious depression or be tolerating something that can be remedied with basic hormone therapy! Good Luck to you!

Hi, The Lithium was to treat Bipolar, however I am not beginning to tend towards the depressive side and have already had this argument with my doctors - why when you have been diagnosed with a mental illness does EVERYTHING have to relate to it... I could go to the doctor with a cold and it would be because I'm bipolar!! GRRRRRRR ;o) (not directed at you!!!) My moods are fine and I'm stabler (and happier) than I have ever been in my life! I have only felt like this since I went on the Lithium and decided to come off it for that reason, I just don't understand why i'm still feeling so exhausted. I will however be going to the doctor regarding my hormone levels - I think this could be a possible candidate for the problem to be honest (or i'm hoping it is) Thanks again Sar
