I was on Lithium, not very long, less than a year. My blood was not monitored. In January I had bloodwork done for something unrelated, and I was diagnosed with Stage I-II kidney disease, most likely from the Lithium. I immediately went off of it, and I will have more bloodwork done in April to see what happens.
When I was put on Lithium (during a hospital stay), I was not informed of things like "do not take Motrin". I was not informed of anything.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
