Advice & Tips

Lithobid is much better on the stomach I was on Lithium but Lithium caused major stomach issues so the doctor put me on Lithobid because unlike the regular Lithium, Lithobid goes thru the digest track and causes less stomach issues.

Some side effects are only present at the beginning of treatment or when the dosage is changed. Its worked for me with my moods so I have over looked my side effects because they were mild, but its a great medication.

Lithium toxicity

Advice & Tips

Found that lithobid managed my mood, but other than stable mood it was a difficult drug to be on. My lithium toxicity was caused by poor health care, in that my blood level was not sufficiently monitored. Glad to be off of this drug! Now taking lamictal for mood balancing, and other than intense dreams and nightmares, it is a good fit for me.
