Hi Roslynn,
I assume you've consulted with your doctor regarding this. My mother had some kidney impairment from lithium, but the psychiatrist said that (given her age) the impairment was not bad enough to warrant a complete discontinuation.
Do you need to come off it all? Could you continue to take a lower dose (i.e. 300mg)? For additional mood stabilization, you could first look to valproate, tegretol or lamictal. If neither of these are suitable, you could look to antipsychotics.
