A member asked:
If lithium is going to affect wbc count, does it usually affect it from the start of treatment or can it happen anytime during treatment? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: It can happen in the beginning but not always which is why you monitor you blood throughout the time you are on lithium.
