Hey JohnJ,
Sorry to butt in, but what about it being the opposite ... exercise increase your lithium level and causes your side effects?
I have heard patients on lithium have to keep well hydrated and exercise can sometimes make people lithium toxic. I was reading Dr. Kay Jamison's book, and she mentioned that she got lithium toxic skiing (from the exercise and that high attitudes somehow increase lithium levels). Just a quick thought.
