Thank you for this video! Until I made the connection to lithium I was paranoid I had MS or Parkinson’s when it’s just that my lithium increase didn’t take well and caused a lot of nausea, headache and also tremors and constant twitches.

What if someone had toxicity and still had all the symptoms persists even years after being off meds? What can be done?

I have a friend who was given too much Lithium at a Mental Health Hospital and she is now in Intensive Care in a hospital with a feeding tube, a ventilator, IV and she cannot speak. What can be done now?
