In reply to Some questions about Lithium., posted by Ted_Brossnan on May 23, 2007, at 15:19:32

Negative things:

- I think about 10% of people taking it
develop hypothyroidism, which is treatable;

- weight gain

- thirst

- many report tremors

- water gain

- "narrow therapeutic index"

- skin disorders in some people

- lethargy

- frequent urination and thirst

- not recommended for cardiac patients or those with bad kidney clearance

I highly recommend you look up Dr. Schou's booklet -- Lithium Guide as a popular book.

The good points: at the right dose it feels very normal if any psychiatric drug can.
