Outstanding. Just canceled an over the counter order out of concern for the previous meds. Thank you for this really expert info.
I found at least 5 contraindications, for myself, based on your knowledge . I had ordered only a micro dose of 1000mcg. I noticed in the reviews at least half who tried it felt really unwell without knowing why. It was helpful to hear the physiology behind the cautions.
You may have saved my life. I am older and was looking at the dementia prevention aspect. Thank you.

There's also constant thirst, increased urination and sedation. I've also had those things since the very beginning of lithium treatment, the shaky hands didn't become permanent until I was 1200 mgs a day. Prior to that, my hands would shake whenever my dose was increased but always stopped after several days.

Not a fan of the side effects but it has worked wonders on my brain so I keep on keep taking it. The relationship between lithium and myself is complicated but strong.😊

Use of escitalopram with acilofenak will cause low sodium levels.my doctor gave me escitalopram20mg with 300 lithium and I also take acilofenak for arthritis this puts me a great danger for toxicity of escitalopram and lithium as your lecture tells.plz shine some light on this matter, should I take lithium or talk to my doctor to change this med because escitalopram and acilofenak are prime medicine for me and till now I don't know that I'm bipolar because after starting escitalopram 20mg I had hypomania because I was also taking ondenstron with Omeprazole and they both raise the level of escitalopram in blood.

I am on lithium after experiencing a manic episode last January. My libido was very active at that point. right now I have no libido and an inability to get an erection. Could lithium cause this? Thanks

[namithranjith]

why does Lithium cause Tachy as a side effect in moderate toxicity, if it suppresses SA node?

[mjaynz]

[swapnil]

Are you explaining lithium or giving us suicide ideas??😂😂

[victoriapalferez-siri]

Interesting how this is possible, so a doctor can prescribe this to kill a patient by overdose recommendation or mistake or the patient can be poison little by little.
