[QUOTE="slsh, post: 491726, member: 8"] thank you developed a monster goiter on Lithium. He was in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) #1 and by the time I noticed it, he looked like he'd swallowed a beanbag. Hindsight being 20/20, it *really* irked me that thyroid functions weren't monitored routinely, since per his endocrinologist, lithium is well know to mess with- the thyroid. I can't say he really gained wt on the lithium, but he was already pretty chunky thanks to years of Risperdal. Fortunately (or not), lithium was not a helpful medication and between stopping it and putting thank you on Synthroid for a couple of years to suppress his thyroid function, the goiter completely disappeared.
