LITHIUM questions

Posted by HMK on April 8, 2002, at 9:04:22

I've been using Effexor XR, Neurontin, and Geodon for the past year or so in an attempt to regulate my bipolar II. I also have an underactive thyroid which just makes things more complicated. Lately, I have been cycling so quickly- one day crying all day and the next day jumping out of my skin. I am having my thyroid checked tomorrow morning, but in the meantime I am considering lithium.

I have never tried it and am concerned about the side effects of this drug. Could people on the drug please respond as to how they tolerate lithium? I know it's considered the gold standard in treating bipolar but I'm still afraid to try it. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Best wishes,
Heather
