Lithium and goiter: time to d/c? PLEASE READ

Posted by doggrrl on July 11, 2003, at 21:00:08

I have a small goiter that the endocrinologist thinks is a result of Li use. Should I d/c the li and switch to another mood stablizer (under doc's care, of course)? The endocrinologist did not want to offer an opinion, and my psychpharm literally says she "does not know the answer." I of course have no clue, and can't find any answers on Medline. Has anyone had experience w/ this?
My thyroid levels are all normal, but I have a goiter that wasn't there 6 months ago. Will it keep growing? Is it dangerous?
