In reply to Doc wants to try Lithium but nervous!!!, posted by Rani on November 13, 2006, at 5:07:15
Hi,
Lithium is often a first-line treatment option for cases like yours. Your pdoc will probably(certainly) check thyroid function and heart rhythm(ECG) before initating the treatment. You will have to take a blood test for every increase in dosage to monitor plasma concentration.
Your pdoc will also provide you with all information you need, including drink alot of water, to be nice to your kidneys and to avoid dehydration.You will see it's nothing to be scared of.
