Looks like truwrecks has had no luck with it. Are there any negative side effects for trying?

I was on it pre SCI.
	Just do it

tbone57 ...ive taken a look around the web and i found an info page about the medication that i think you will find very helpful..

It provides an overview of the drug, side effects, dosage, uses and interactions..It looks like a anti depressant so i would imagine it works similar to other nerve pain meds that have effect on the nervous system. Here is the link: LithiumWebbMD Site

Here is a link to a study which has looked at the effects of Lithium on the Peripheral Nervous System.I would advice you to take a read! research conclusion on Lithium

Hopefully the info ive provided will give you a starting point for questions you may need to present to your doctor..please let us know how you get on
