Hi, my brother is 45 years old and he is using lithium for the last 12 years. Till now he didn't experience any side effects but my very good friend told me, several days ago, that lithium may cause very dangerous conditions. I would like to know if it is true and what may happen if someone takes lithium so long.

Hi, I am also using lithium for more than 10 years and I spoke to my doctor about side affects which this medication may cause. He told me that it may lower level of thyroid hormone and cause condition similar to hypothyroidism. Also it may cause damaging of kidneys but it is very rare. Your brother may try to lower his doses of lithium under strict control of his psychiatrist.
