Hi Mary,


I can't really answer that question, but I developed hypothyroidism as a result of the lithium I was on. I had my thyroid checked after I stopped the lithium, but my pdoc never said what the results were. I guess I should call and find out. I know that I wound up back on the lithium but at a lower dose so I don't know if that has messed with my thryoid since.

well I dont see a Pdoc I only see my family doc and he wanted to put me on Lithium but I refused to even take it so he put me on risperdal and cymbalta and it seems to be working ok I still cycle a lot but I am not one to take meds especially if they make me feel out of it.

Hey Mary!!! I have missed you!! I always go to the other board to check on you! I'm really glad you de-lurked and posted. I'm sorry, but I don't have hypothyroidism, that they know of yet. I'm supposed to start taking a supplement, but haven't yet.

Keep posting!

Love and Hugs,

Keli
