I don't know the exact answers to your questions but I can tell you what I learned when my hypothyroidism was worsened by lithium. I decided to discontinue the lithium at the time, having only been on it for 2 months, but my endocrinologist told me that I could have continued it and just adjusted the thyroid medications dosages accordingly.
Someone else here might have more info than I do.
Also, try the about.com site on thyroid. Or www.thyroid-info.com.
