I had been given lithium high doses 1200 mg by mistake for 2 weeks without knowing it i became weeker and weekerand i finally was brought to the hospital and they found i had lithuim toxicity and my kidneys were failing!  I was athe hospital the transitional care for a month after. I would like to know how my kidneys have had damage and couldthe damage be reversed?
Hi, In my experience, if your blood urea and creatinine levels have come down to within normal limits after treatment for lithium toxicity, then you do not need to worry about lasting damage. I find lithium a very safe and effective medicine provided it is prescribed and taken correctly. I start lithium in low dosages and gradually hike up after serum lithium level monitoring. Probably this was not done in your case. Best wishes.
