In reply to Janelle, Thanks, you eased an anxiety I've had!, posted by McPac on August 28, 2003, at 0:28:46
My reasons for not really wanting to be on the Lithium have nothing to do with what you mentioned! I don't like it because you must be sure to drink a lot of water every day with it and for me that's a pain! Also, you have to have your blood monitored regularly because it goes through the kidneys, something else to worry about. I will be on it long-term and I am concerned that it might damage my kidneys, although my blood levels have consistently been quite fine. Also, I'm on a moderate (not high, not low) dose. Hope this answers your question!
