Trying to decide if Lithium is worth side effects

Posted by blondegirl47 on June 16, 2004, at 10:53:09

I have posted before about lithium for ADD, but would like to ask again if anyone out there has had success with taking 300 mg of lithium a day for ADD symptoms and mood swings. I have been on it for 6 days. I have had a headache for the past two days(could be sinus). I am shaky, a litte more spacey(than usual ;)). I noticed that my eczema is trying to come back.

I have read that it dries you out pretty bad. I have also read that it can make your memory worse, I am not sure at what dose this occurs. I'm also not sure what my pdoc thinks I will gain from this. He said, something about the brain likes lithium.

It would be greatly appreciated if I could get more insight/info on this medication.
Thanks
Blondegirl
