Limits Of Lithium

All of these meds are two-edged swords. Two of my kids needed meds at certain points in their lives, and I think they were life-savers. At the same time I read journal articles about how some of the meds may 'prune' axons and change neural pathways, and it makes me feel sick. At the moment I'm on a medication for chemo side-effects that is giving me, as a side-effect of its own, more mental clarity than I've had for months. I'm grateful.

Many times these meds save lives, but like everything else they come with a cost.
