I am BiPolar, take 300mg of lithium (for manic) night, with 100mg of Quetipine, if I am having problem with depression I have 25mg of Quetiping take one if it does not work I add 1 more, to date I have never had to go above175mg, as I am felling better I start cutting back to the 100mg & morning, I am now sleeping 8hrs a night - have done that in years.
Every morning I take 300mg of lithium + 300mg of XL Bupropien. I also take magnanese, CoQ10, and B12.

Welcome to Connect Henry. Thank you for sharing your success story. Sleeping 8 hours a night is one of the best things you can do for your health. So many people have disrupted sleep. It is hard to get or keep mental and physical health on track without good sleep hygiene.

Do you also exercise? What other activities help?

Yes I go to the local gym do strength training and some Aerobics, try for 5 times a week. On days I do not go to the gym I walk 40 - 60 minutes a day

Nothing like a good success story to brighten a day! I play pickleball, to which I am addicted, 3xs a week as well as water aerobics. It does help to get the body moving around.
