Hi, For any of you who have been or are on lithium, do you experience dry throat?

I don't. I have a slight increase in thirst but it's actually kinda nice because it makes me aware I'm thirsty, I drink, it goes away and I appear to be hydrated so I consider it a win.
Thanks for this!

I was psychotic and didn't dare to drink - yeah, I was thirsty, but the only liquidy thing I was consuming was a liter of yoghurt a day, so I can't say the lithium played a part in my thirstiness.
Thanks for this!

It didn't make me thirsty...but you have to be careful with lithium to be sure you stay well hydrated.
