Sorry to hear you're experiencing those side effects. I think you should tell your pdoc about the swelling and diarrhea. I could be wrong, but I'm reading that diarrhea could be an early sign of lithium toxicity. How long have you been on lithium? You definitely need to drink a lot of water on lithium.
