On: Bioethicist proposes adding lithium to US drinking...

[palish]

I've been on lithium before. I'd prefer to spend the rest of my life as far away from ingesting it as possible.

Care to explain?

I won't speak for him but I've been on it before for the treatment of bipolar disorder. It works for some people. It didn't work for me - too poisonous - and I'm on something else now. But I don't blame his reaction; there were horrible side effects.

Maybe I wasn't clear. What side effects? Poisonous? All people have said so far is "Lithium is bad", which isn't very informative.

By the way, what are you on now?
