well i guess that is a lot of info. i think maybe i will think twice! i really don't need anything more to make me "dopey" and forgetful. i was just hoping to have some possitive feedback. i have already had my thyroid tested it came back normal so that is a good thing and as far as my lithium, i am in the process of lowering the dose to come off of it all together, down to 300mg per day, hopefully in a few more weeks i will be done. anyways thank you for everyones response, i will take them into consideration.-Jen
