> Hello good people
> I have been on 300mg of lithium for one month and my doc wants me off because of bad kidney numbers .I will have to go off , should i come off this drug quickly or should i go off slow any suggestions

You should be able to simply stop taking the lithium all at once without suffering any withdrawal side effects. By contrast, if one were to respond favorably to lithium for an extended period of time and wanted to discontinue it, the more gradual the taper, the less chance there is of relapse.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
