hi Thomas,
Can't say much more than Sunnely has : >) Thanks Sunnely, I printed that out.
Here's some tips for nausea that work best for me: Eat about 4 bites of your meal, take the lithium, then eat the rest of the meal - the more the better. Drink a large glass of water during the meal. If you still get nausea, try buying some gingerroot at the healthfood store and taking it with the lithium with the meal.
There are a few medications that I couldn't take with lithium - birth control and another one (Olanzapine (sp?) - because the combination makes me very ill (all morning at the toilet). So check with your doc before combining it.
Good luck Thomas
if it works for you, it's a great drug. But ain't that the truth for all of them.
