Dear lybrate-user: Lithium carbonate should only be taken under close supervision of a physician. It is easy to get toxicity and thyroid and kidney tests should be done regularly as long term use of lithium use. Also, there is no scientific evidence that lithium helps with OCD. There are several safe medications that can help with OCD.

Dear lybrate-user,
Lithium carbonate is a simple salt. It does not irritate the stomach too much if you got used to it, say after 1-2 weeks. You can even take it afternoon and night. After few months of getting used to the drug, you can take all 600 mg at night itself so that you will not forget.

Dear Syed,
I don't know for what diagnosis, you are taking these tablets, at what dose and for how long. However if you are going to drink alcohol to reduce your anxiety, please take acamprosate also. It reduces the craving for alcohol!

You can chose to start with simple mindfulness exercises. Progressive relaxation techniques, begin with simply standing in morning sunlight for 3 mins. Gradually increase it 1 min in each 5 days.
These are the foundations for handling lower states of brain.
Regarding leaving medicines you have to do it under the guidance of your psychiatrist, attempting it on your own can be hazardous.

Risperdal consta should be used during pregnancy only if the anticipated benefit outweighs the risk
the risks to your baby associated with taking lithium during pregnancy are: heart defects. Taking lithium in early pregnancy increases the risk that your baby's heart might not develop properly
so before planning pregnancy ask treating psychiatrist as he/she can change drugs if required.
