Lithobid & Urination.............

Ok, I'm running to the bathroom every 5 minutes, this is wicked annoying. I read that some of you have had this side effect, Will it go away as my body adjusts to the drug?


I only took my 2nd pill this morning but so far so good in terms of side effects. Between the lithobid & my nightly seroquel I passed out last night on the couch. I finallly made it to bed but I had all my make up on still, uck! I hate doing that but I knew I was too zonked to wash

Hugs & Positive Thoughts Always,

Hi Danielle...


Yes, this problem will go away as your body adjusts to the med...I had the SAME problem, but it went away and didn't take too long either.

Is Lithobid just like lithium? I am new to all the meds available.

Hi Danielle,


Yes, your body will get used to the lithuim,and you won't be rushing off in search of a bathroom every 5 minutes. Please be sure you are drinking lots of liquids. You can get dehydrated quick while taking it. I hope that this new med will do the trick for you. :)


Take care,talk to you soon.
Love and hugs,
