My 14 year old daughter is taking 1350 mg of lithium a day. It s been two full weeks. Three of her lymph nodes are now swollen causing her pain when she turns her nech. She had the same kind of reaction when she was on lumictal and also had mono at the name time. Is the medicine causing this Could she be anticonvulsant to lithium .
Hello Patti.welcome to Health Care Magic Usually lithium is not reported to cause side effects of lymphadenopathy, so don't worry about lithium dosing. Capital is known to causes serious skin side effects and serious hypersensitivity in susceptible individuals and lymphadenopathy may be seen with it. So lymphadenopathy may be probably due to some other cause. Kindly visit a doctor for proper investigation. ThanksTake Care
