Hey No it will not affect your thyroid i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when i was 16 and i have been on lithium since i was 17 so no it will not affect it at all
Yes Lithium will effect your Thyroids, it has been known to cause goyters (Lumps, Growths) on the Thyroid glands. in some patients who have been on Lithium for more than a year. They put me on Lithium about 4 years ago, and I was on it for about a year and a half. then I got off of it, cause of lack of energy, not being able to laugh at funny things, and an overall down mood that never changed. 2 years ago after being off of it for 6 mnths I got lumps on neck, keep growing.
Chris's post is correct, Lithium has been known to cause thyroid issues as side effects, according to FDA reports, and not all of them have been known to go away, once someone stops taking the medication.
Ref: Lithium Information
Other side effects may include nausea, thirst, restlessness, dry mouth, and depression, according to FDA reports.
Has it been prescribed for you?
