Discuss - not stop: Definitely ask the doctor to reconsider lithium and to explain the reasons for it. If you disagree, request it be properly curtailed. Abruptly stopping some drugs can be harmful to our bodies. It is a reason to fully understand a drug before starting one. Perhaps your condition can be treated w/out drugs or w/ another more effective for you. Best!
