> As far as reducing water retention/bloating, I think exercise is your best bet. Also, you may want to avoid drinking too much coffee and black tea. And definitely avoid alcohol and cigarettes(I'm sure one alcoholic beverage here and there won't hurt. It may actually be good for you). Vitamins A and C may help as well(I recomend taking a good multi and adding a little extra C-there should be plenty of vitamin A in the multi. I also just read that taking a probiotic or eating a good quality yogurt may help.

Why is it back to drink coffee or black tea while taking lithium? I usually only drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning and am trying to drink more water.
