I’ve been doing a weekly video on most common side effects and this week we are talking about lithium
While traditional second messenger medications like lithium have falling out of favor over the years, lithium remains an excellent medication
Some have even suggested it may be one of the few disease modifying medications in psychiatry

I had terrible edema of my ankles for about 2-3 weeks. I had no idea it was from lithium. As soon as I moved and spent more time at the beach and less time on my feet, it got better.

Also, the tremors linger for a while after discontinuing lithium. At least that was my experience

I was on generic Keppra for 11 years. I was on 4,000 mg. I had a lot of those side effects you had. Horrible anxiety and mood swings and worrying about everything no matter what it was. Had a hallucination. Felt like bugs were crawling on me. I'm on vimpat and zonisamide now.
