johnj,
Boy, can I relate to where your coming from. Larry gave you excellent advice. I don't have much to add except say, "I hear you" from my non-medical perspective as an athlete who tried to maintain mileage while on Lithium. Running was an extreme stuggle for me on this drug, salt, whatever you want to call it.
I haven't met a PDoc yet who knows anything about medication and it's effect on endurance sports. I drove a long way to see a "Sports Psychiatrist" and he did not know what an ultramarathon is. Uh, I wouldn't expect a regular PDoc to know this, but someone who specializes in sports? Frankly, he didn't know a lot about marathoning either, training involved, the effect on your endocrine system weeks after a hard event, etc.
Good luck to you. If you find the answer, please post.
