Noa, sorry to hear about the lithium issue. Since I have been on it for 3 1/2 years, my opinion is that your body is trying to eliminate the salt (lithium). Since it is not broken down, the main way it is eliminated is through the kidneys. When do you have a level check? How much are you taking and when? Some folks are just sensitive to the drug and have this as a side effect. Are you getting enough regular salt in your diet? If it is a major problem, I'd call the doc and request a serum level check. Good luck and Blessings,
