My sister has also stopped taking lithium because of kidney disease. It came on very rapidly and really freaked her out. It also freaked her pdoc out when she finally told him (she told the nephrologist she wasn't about to give up her lithium). She's living with me right now, so we'll see how that goes.

There are a lot of other options out there for bipolar. Have you discussed other medications with your pdoc?
