My hands tremble, and I'm thirsty, and I think I've gained a few pounds.... but other than that it's really not a problem. And it seems to be one of the only drugs that actually works for me, and seems to help me more than anything else so far (even if the improvement is still rather minimal).

I love lithium.

The problem with lithium is that we do not
have a li-detector as diabetics have meters.
There's a lot of whining that it is high
maintenance - it's not - two blood tests a year
would be all you need.

It's a miracle drug and should be respected.
