[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 39786, member: 1550"] In my experience, I've seen Lithium work when nothing else did. The biggest problems I've heard of (I took it a while) are possible weight gain, thirst, and it's common to get thyroid issues with Lithium. Many kids have to take thyroid medications with the Lithium. As far as what it does for moods, the last word I heard on this from my Psychiatrist is that Lithium has a higher success rate for bipolar than any other medication, at about 70-80%. The others are in the 60's, although I don't know about Lamictal. [/QUOTE]
