> It is not unusual for lithium to effect thyroid function. Have thyroid function tests done first.The serum level is in range, but one parameter is a bit low - near the critical mark. Dont know which parameter. Perhaps subclinical after taking laitium ?! My pdoc says he gives thyroids without looking on the serum levels before starting it as an augmentation - because there isnt any relation between serum level and expected effect.
