Johndsgirl, it's certainly something to keep in mind, but I have always loved being out in the sun and didn't stop doing that with any of the meds I have been on. Hydration is key with lithium! I always drank a lot of water even before I was diagnosed, but I needed to drink a bit more when I was on lithium.
