used to take Xanax, but no longer necessary -
may have been a high thyroid induced necessity;0.112 Synthroid (this drug was taken about
a year after the lithium initiation) -- like
many, my thyroid was hammered down by the
lithium and a supplement became necessary;
not surprisingly lithium is a treatment for
hyperthyroidism (too much);Your dr. will probably check you for this.
I'm sure drs. think lithium is a royal pain,
lol. Someone on the net said it's a high
maintenance drug - yeah, well, i'm a high
maintenance patient :-)Squiggles
