OK....may be a TMI thing...but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this....

I have found that if I don't take my lithium at roughly the same time each night....the next morning my stomach hates me. I get horrible diarrhea all the next morning. Like an emergency. Its so embarrassing and HARD to handle!

Am I alone??

I'm sure you aren't, HALLIEBETH87. Lithium can all sorts of side effects, and I think it's important to regulate how much is in your system.

you are not alone. it's very important to take lithium around the same time each day or it will give you all sorts of side effects. for me thought, it just makes me sick to my stomach to where I'm about to throw up.

Me too, but it's all I have. I have a limited supply on top of that. I'm praying that I get my Medicaid card and get back on my old regimen before I start work on the 25th. I'm so sick of feeling crazy
