I started taking Lithobid once a day for a week and then went to twice a day last Sun. After taking 300 mgs I had a few headaches, but as soon as I went up to 300 twice a day I had a migraine every day. Probably the worst I've had in my entire life. Last night I thought I was dying. The pain was excruciating, unlike anything I had ever experienced. Now I know they use Lithium to treat headaches, but can people get migraines from it also? Maybe it's the Marplan/Lithium combo that's causing it. I don't know. My doctor isn't in today, but I'll speak with him tomorrow. I also did a search for this but didn't find much info. Have any of you who take Lithium experienced migraines?
Now I'm too scared to take it anymore.
Thanks,
Brooke
