Just wondering how common this is. I started lithium about 2 1/2 days ago and instead of bringing me "down" from my manic phase it has made it worse. My sleep meds had no effect i was awake until 4am. My pupils are huge. I can't sit still. I don't like this at all! I go back on monday for a follow up...... has anyone else had this reaction to it?
i have hashimoto's disease and positive for antibodies so it's a big deal that my TSH stays just under a 2, otherwise i feel really sick. i have been having problems absorbing my thyroid meds and my TSH went up, so being on lithium was a really bad idea because my levels were messed up already
