[QUOTE="Steely, post: 579492, member: 3301"] So, I am confused. Did you take him off the Lithium, or not? I get nose bleeds all of the time - and have since I was a kid. They started suddenly when I was a kid, but there was never a metabolic reason. I would not be too eager to assume it is the Lithium. Yes, it makes the kids incredibly thirsty - and there can be some other side effects - but I would not immediately take him off of it without a Dr mandating it. Lithium was the very first remedy for depression, almost a hundred years ago. It is very effective. It does have side affects but not any more than any other medication other than dehydration, which can be easily remedied with excessive liquids. Clonidine OTH, if taken above the recommended dose can cause the heart to stop, or a heart attack. Slow down - and do not stop the Lithium without a doctors guidance. HUGS. I know this is really tough. [/QUOTE]
