This is a facebook friend's wife. He said that they did change from lithium to another mood stabalizer didn't ask what med. But the damage was done. She also had COPD and was in late 60's. I wonder the same if proper monitoring was done. My ex-father in law took it for years and years and lived well into his 80's. When I worked in psych this was this pdoc who insisted everyone was bipolar and each got a script for lithium. He even told me to take a low dose of it when premenstral. Many years ago. I didn't though. Interesting. I wonder what the stats are with kidneys and lithium? Phillipa
