Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if lithium can cause muscle spasms? If so, what can be done to eliminate them without stopping the lithium?
When I increase the dosage to 600-900 mg, I have very painful muscle spasms in my lower legs and feet.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or responses.

Hi Bulldog,
Yes, I am urinating frequently, especially at night. Thank you for suggestions. I appreciate it.
