Me too. Maybe you can take meds such as Levothyroxine to help with the lithium thyroid side effects? I just get a blood test to check my thyroid levels :o)

Checking your thyroid levels should be done in all patients receiving any psychiatric meds. Low thyroid is very common with this.
For me lithium put me into a suicidal depression which is very very uncommon. My psychiatrist was shocked.

Another words... This should protect your thyroid

I was on lithium for a minute.
I couldnt think,. But seen others do really well..
Good luck

I was on lithium I had to drink a lot of water. I also found out when you go to any dentist or when you have that machine that tests for cancer of the breast, ask for the apron that would protect your neck, it is a flap to cover your neck and it is a much less rick of cancer.
