> Can anyone provide info on how lithium works? I can no longer take it because of the damage it's doing to my hypothyroid condition. TSH has become dangerously high in the the 1 year I've been on it. I'm BP-II, mixed states (for want of a better diagnosis) and although I'm taking Lamictal, I'm missing lithium very much and am constantly fending off the ever-threatening mixed-states hell. Staying on lithium is not an option because extra thyroid medication isn't helping unless I'm off it.
