> I'm on Lamictal 350mg/day and just added lithium 450mg/day last week. I'm having bloodwork later today and most likely will increase lithium to 900 mg/day. As to concerns about thyroid, I was told that when taking taking Synthroid, your lithium dosage can be as high as necessary because Synthroid can be adjusted and balance the effect of lithium.
Lithium use can also produce thyroid tumors, goiter, and occasionally, hyperthyroidism.
