In reply to Peripheral neuropathies, etc. Is it the lithium?, posted by Squiggles on May 19, 2002, at 8:50:15
Squiggles, I just gave this link to Mar in her above post:

It may have some info for you there too about lithium-related problems. It's called Lithium Adverse Effects & it's from Virtual Hospital.If your doctor simply says your dose is in the normal range & leaves it at that without checking your blood levels - not good. It's not so much what your dose is as what your blood level is. It varies from person to person & even in so-called safe dosing, some people can build up toxic levels in their blood.
