[QUOTE="Janna, post: 243827, member: 2737"] I've been reading over there ALOT lately. Steely if you haven't been (CABF that is) you should check it out. Lots of good info. D was on the Lithium a very long time. Thyroid issues are a common side effect with Lithium. We did a microbody test which told us whether or not D would have thyroid issues anyway - regardless of the Lithium, and it did come back positive. So, at some point, he would have (and probably will have) issues. It wasn't one draw, he must have had 10 over the course of 14 or 15 months LOL! The Synthroid did a fine job of bringing his TSH from 107 to 4 - but again, it overstimulated him and of course that's a problem. I'd be more apt at this time to try Lamictal only because Lithium was a PITA. If the Lamictal doesn't work, I'd be willing to rethink Lithium, cuz it worked for a while, but geez - any side effect D could get he got LMAO! Yeah I'm reading and researching and stuff and feeling OK about the Lamictal with the Seroquel. If she won't go up on the Seroquel, though - we need to look at an anti anxiety. Not sure if that can wait. He's eating clothing again. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
