"Unnecessary medication"

I was in tickhill hospital and they put me on a high dose age of lithium. They stated for mood stabilisation, but in the next hospital I was told that this was completely unnecessary.
It made me feel like I was completely out of control of my own care because I was not aware of what I was going to be on, and how it was going to affect me.
