In reply to lithium- initial effect then apathy, posted by linkadge on October 30, 2005, at 16:51:11
Sorry, I didn't read what others wrote to you, but I saw your question and something occured to me (perhaps someone has said this). Li can supress thyroid functioning, so it is impt to have bloodwork done to check thyroid hormones after taking Li for a while. Thyroid probs would cause apathy, etc.
My pdoc and I just had this discussion today, and so it was on my mind.
Best,
EE
