[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 105056, member: 2423"] I'm so sorry things are heading south. I've read that when Lithium is initiated and the dose is increased, side effects that typically subside in a few days as the body adjusts are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distress, headache and excessive thirst. Sometimes the side effects can be dealt with by raising the dosage more slowly or changing the schedule of dosing. However, fatigue, sleepiness, nausea, stomachache and diarrhea can also be a symptom of Lithium toxicity. If he still feels poorly tonight, I'd think I'd err on the side of caution and have him looked at the ER. Hugs to you and Bugsy tonight. [/QUOTE]
