> http://livingbipolar.blogspot.com/2008/01/lithium-question.htmlThanks, Phillipa. I found and read this when I first started looking into a possible connection. It's reassuring that the guy's doctor wasn't concerned, but then again he said that it wasn't really "pain" per se but a feeling that it was there. Having gone down to 600, and then splitting the dose yesterday, the pain upon waking today was diminished much more - still very much there, but not acute like it had been. I'm drinking fluids like a madman to see if that forms part of the picture, but I felt as if I was drinking a ton before, too, so it's hard for me to believe that the pain could simply be due to me not drinking enough water. Anyway, I guess I'll see how things progress. Take care!
