My doc checked my thyroid at the same time she did a lithium level. I don't know if a low thyroid is associated with taking lithium. But it came back low and she put me on Synthroid. I complained about sweating and she changed it to Cytomel, but it was the same. My doc is sort of mysterious.

When I say I sweat, I mean I'm pouring out sweat - dripping off my face - it's embarrassing.
