Answers:
I take lithium and after other medications it was like a light switch being switched on !! I get the metalic taste and dry mouth I find lucozade helps, a great remedy for mornings too. I have put on alot of weight but I have to weigh up the benefits of the lithuim for me it works so goodbye size 8 hello size 14. good luck x

,I have had no problems with it at all. There is such a variety of meds to choose from, if lithium isn't working well with you, ask your doc to change it. Peace!

I've taken lithium for three years now and have never noticed any side effects from it. It works very well for me. I have bi polar disorder.

Yes to all plus tremors in my hands. Keep taking it but talk to your doctor about it he may change you to a different med or lower the lithium and add something else good luck!
