Hi there,   While I was on Lithium - about 6 months, I was doing great.  But the levels of it your blood have to be checked every so often to make sure you aren't toxic.  I'm not sure what the happens if you do become toxic.  Well, when my blood level came back, I was in the toxic range.  So I had to be taken off it, and put on something else.    If you do go on this med, like with anything other type of med, it may work differently for you than it does for others.  Don't go just by my experience with it, it may work very well with you.  But make sure to have those levels checked (I forget how often it needs to be done, but you can find out from your doc).   I hope some of this info. has helped you.  Let us know what happens.   Take care and good luck, Wen
