I was on it years ago for 10 years or so.
Be careful as it’s very hard on your kidneys and thyroid.
It messed with my metabolism and gave me both diabetes and hypothyroidism
But it’s a good med especially for classic bipolar symptoms.
Didn’t work well for me as I have atypical bipolar disorder

If you have hypothyroidism then maybe you shouldn’t be on lithium?
It’s best to ask a doctor

Lithium destroyed my thyroid in 1994…been on Synthroid ever since. It didn’t even help my mental issues, either. Been off of it for 35 years…

I’m on 1,350 mg daily. I used to be on a lot more.
