mmm if it was the pills that made him collapse...I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make him collapse that quickly...

other than that, very descriptive, made for good reading ^^

If you overdose, it does.

...i think my teacher said that it does.
._. i wasn't paying that much attention. lmao.

xd thanks for reading anyway.

I think (I dunno but I'm going on it anyways) the pills have to at least hit your blood stream before they take effect

either way, it's a grand cliffhanger! <3

Wow, this reminds me of me... I had a problem with pills not too long ago, so I can see how Ruki feels.

And yeah, it takes about 45 minutes for a pill to take effect after swallowing it, but it's okay. :3

This was really beautifully written, you did a great job describing things! I almost felt like I was there. *huggles and gives you ruki-shaped cookies* Great job!

Thank you. :D

This was interesting to read. Pill addiction is a dangerous thing. So it's understandable how Ruki would want to take more and more. I liked how you showed his personality, what his physical need for the pill was, and how he felt when he took them.

Great job. c:

Lithium is a natural element and as such is different to other medical treatments used for mood swings. You cannot become addicted to lithium, or have withdrawal symptoms when it is stopped. If a person begins to feel unwell after stopping lithium it usually means that some of the mood related symptoms which had been effectively treated by lithium are re-emerging. Lithium does not lose its effect with time.

Because lithium is very similar to sodium (a "salt"), taking lithium is like taking small salt tablets: it makes you thirsty. If you don’t drink more water than usual, you can have dry mouth. But when you do drink more, you will also urinate more. During the day this is usually not a problem, but some people have to get up at night to urinate when they did not need to before. Most people taking lithium will notice these effects somewhat, more so at higher doses.

Is this addictive?

There is no "addiction": if you stop, there is no "craving. However, there is good evidence that stopping lithium suddenly can cause a rapid return of symptoms. It is important to taper slowly off lithium, taking at least several weeks to do so, unless there are reasons to go faster. Stopping over several months is much wiser.
