How likely is lithium to affect the thyroid, causing hypothyroidism? especially when there were s/s of hypothyroidism prior to lithium therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unlikely: Thyroid problems of various sorts may occur with lithium. Speak with your psychiatrist and primary physician (or endocrinologist) - be sure they are collaborating.
