Not Lithium, but I worked for 15 years after being diagnosed with bipolar and I took a great many different medications and still worked full time during the medication changes. The key is to have a pdoc who is responsive to your phone calls and who will start you with small doses of meds so you can ramp up slowly.
Good luck.
