I have read that lithium can induce psoriasis. Lithium has been working so well for me.

Either the lithium triggered the psoriasis or my mom being diagnosed with an operable brain tumor triggered it (stress) I'm not even sure if it is psoriasis have an appt with dermatology on 4/12 i see psychiatrist the same day before hand so plan on bringing it up.

Question is will the make me go off of lithium if it is psoriasis and would lithium withdrawal and med change require an inpatient stay.

I have been told by medical professionals that it is more then likely psoriasis just waiting for dermatolgy to see it to be for sure.

Withdrawing from lithium isn't generally too major a problem for most people. I would doubt it would require inpatient.
