[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 410132, member: 1514"] Beth, lithium worked the best out of everything we ever tried for Cory. That said, he did develop hand tremors on it and he also had to start taking synthroid after about 6 months. After he came off the lithium he was able to stop the synthroid but the hand tremors have remained. Cory has always been one to drink fluids so we didnt have a problem with hydration and another thing to remember is to not cut down or increase his salt intake because lithium is a salt so you want to keep things even. Dont suddenly drastically cut out all salt or increase it. I mean like if the kid is used to chips and salting his food, dont take it away because he is on lithium. [/QUOTE]
