[QUOTE="slsh, post: 105157, member: 8"] Bugsy - I think the best way to get a handle on this is blood work. Not only a lithium level but I would ask for a thyroid panel as well. thank you was on lithium for about 2 years and in the end it fried his thyroid. He didn't have any symptoms but did end up with a goiter - made him look like he had swallowed a bean bag that got stuck at the base of his neck. Skewed thyroid hormone levels can cause also cause palpitations and GI symptoms. I would insist that a physician take at look at him personally and get that lab work drawn. Poor kiddo... it's just so hard sometimes. [/QUOTE]
