Subject: Lithium questions, Doctor wants my 10 year old on it...
Hi sci.med folks...
I would like to know anything you folks can tell me regarding Lithium.
I have a 10 year old son that lives with my ex-wife. She has been having
difficulty with his behavior and has had him on Ritalin, Tofranil, and now
wants to try Lithuim at the local doctors suggestion. I would like to
know whatever is important that I should know. I worry about this sort of
thing and would like pros/cons regarding Lithium therapy.
I have a booklet from the "Lithium Information Center" based at the
University of Wisconsin, but feel that it is pro-lithium and would be
interested in comments from the "not necessarily PRO" side of the fence.
I am a concerned father and just wish to be well informed...
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Please email me directly...
