Because it contains lithium carbonate, Lithobid is used to treat manic episodes of bipolar disorder, also called "manic depressive illness." Aside form treating symptoms of mania, Lithobid is also used as a maintenance drug for bipolar individuals. With therapy, it can significantly reduce the incidence of manic episodes and lessens their intensity.

We have compiled information from the most reliable Lithobid reviews to help you and your family understand the real effects of lithium on moods and disposition. Keep in mind that your reaction to the medicine depends on your condition.

Less serious side effects

Lithobid may set off the following side effects:

* mild hand tremors
* lack of coordination and general weakness
* vomiting, mild nausea, low appetite
* stomach upset
* drying or thinning hair
* itchy skin

These are mild and disappear over time, so you may be able to continue taking Lithobold despite them. If you experience serious side effects like extreme thirst, more frequent urination, fever, vision problems, restlessness, nail discoloration, unusually slow heart rate, seizures, hallucinations, and lithium toxicity, then you need to stop taking the drugs and immediately consult your doctor.

How does it work?

Lithium influences sodium flow through muscle and nerve cell, so Lithobid is used to treat hyperactivity, poor judgment, rushed speech, diminished need for sleep, anger, and aggression. It is an 'extended-release' tablet that essentially controls radical mood swings and helps you sustain a balanced state - which means that you do not have to swing from elation and over-excitedness to depression and severe sadness. When properly used, Lithobid prevents or at least reduces manic episodes.

Do not use Lithobid with these drugs

Like all other bipolar disorder treatment pills, Lithobid may set off side effects if it is used with the following drugs:

* Acetazolamide (such as Diamox)
* Pills for mental illnesses (Antipsychotics)
* Water pills (diuretics)
* Pain and inflammation medicine
* Asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, or sinusitis medicines that contain either calcium iodide, potassium iodide, and/or iodinated glycerol

Other warnings

If you have lithium allergies, you may be advised not to take Lithobid. The best Lithobid reviews also say that you should consult your doctor before taking Lithobid if you have kidney disease, heart disease, an underactive thyroid, if you are dehydrated, and if you have low sodium levels in your blood (a condition known as hyponatremia). If you have these medical conditions, lithium may still be administered to you in a hospital. In some cases, all you need is a simple dosage adjustment and/or continuous tests throughout the treatment period.
