[QUOTE="Steely, post: 185698, member: 3301"] Yea, I think that Lithium gets a bad rap because it was used in the fifties as one of the first medications for the mentally ill, so it has a lot of myths wrapped up in it. I might suggest doing some research on it to ease your mind. I have done a fair amount, because it works so well for my difficult child, and I have not found anything to date that taken at the correct dosage it harms a person. As far as the blood draws, in the beginning I did not really tell difficult child that he had to get his blood drawn because of medicine. I just used it as a time to "go to the doctor" for a checkup. He was younger, of course, but maybe you can play down the medication aspect, and use the healthy person aspect still. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
