[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185662, member: 1233"] I don't have any experience, but I do know that often they wait until everything else has failed to try lithium. Does your difficult child have trouble if they try to draw blood with the procedure or with fears/anxiety of hte needle? does it help with the fears if you explain that they will not put anything painful IN her body, just take a little out? With my kids, THAT is the big fear-reliever. They all remember shots from various times and the pain from them. In our home anything done with a needle at the doctor's office gets ice cream. Either a drive thru Wendy's, or marble Slab, or scooped at home, or even picking up a box if hte M&M cookie ice cream sandwiches they love - depends on teh budget and how many people are with us. This made a HUGE difference when Wiz had to ahve blood taken for another medicine check. I don't know about long term damage from lithium. wish I did. I know that the lady who taught me candy making and cake decoratine in my teens had been on lithium for 20 years when I met her and is still on it. Her son is a plumber I know and chat with around town. Not sure that means much. [/QUOTE]
