Lithium side effects

Posted by broken on March 19, 2007, at 0:05:43

Hi all.. I've just started lithium carbonate, 2x daily 300mg per dose. When I say just started, I mean about 72 hours ago. Within 48 hours, I had the hoarseness, and skin sensitivity which I sort've expected, although I didn't expect it that quickly. But I've also had extreme muscle soreness in my thighs especially. Like I've just started working out with weights. It's been pretty damn painful, and I've not seen this listed as a side effect that occurs frequently. Anyone else had this happen? Thanks!

I always thought that tremor, wt gain were the side effects of lithium as a mood stabalizer anyway. Love Phillipa

Lithium never did anything good or bad to me. I had some tremor though so writing (and shaving Holy sh*t!) was tricky, but being on other things I never knew if it was the Lithium
