Hi,

Yes I've felt like a guinea pig before! And I remember when I told my pdoc I kept getting gas from lithium he was like "no that doesnt happen from that" and I was like Ok and believed him. I was right because when I lowered the dose it stopped! And then I complained to 3 doctors about lithium side effects and it seems like as long as you're stable they assume the side effects are insignificant compared to the effectiveness. Ughhh. I don't get psychiatry. They base side effects on the majority of side effects people get but they vary so much person to person so when you have one they haven't heard of- they say it's not that or really they don't know what to say.
