I think I'm OK on lithium; the TSH may have
gone down a bit; we'll see. I would hate to have to switch, and perhaps that is why i do not take the available opportunity to go myself and get my bloods checked. And rely on my doctor's schedule;
> Yet i'm glad you're on Li because valproate has a very poor track record in the treatment of bipolar depression.Lithium is like water- consciousness wise; this is why i like this drug, but the side effects are physical-- however, from what i have read of Valproate, they are really much worse, esp. for weight gain (about 3x as bad), which is something my dr. is concerned about, but may not have picked up on the net information.
