Just for the record, lithium is definitely NOT dangerous...you just have to take blood levels every one to three months depending on how long you have been on it. The range of therapeutic levels is somewhat small, but I know too many people who take it to think that it is dangerous. It can cause low thyroid levels in some, but this is easily treated with a supplement like Synthroid or one of its generic equivalents.

Should maybe read, lithium is not dangerous when given by a RESPONSIBLE doctor. Not my former doctor who did only one blood test in 6 months. Then when I could not sleep for 5 days/nights and she admitted me to a hospital & my lithium level was way high - 2.9 - normal is 0.5-1
