Taking Creatine and consuming higher protein on lithium

snowboardkid

Hey guys, I take around 1200mg of lithium carbonate a day for the past 4 years. I was diagnosed with Bi polar type 2. I'm curious If I can keep taking creatine, and have diet with increased protein. I know lithium can tax the kidneys if your dehydrated, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this type of encounter. My doctor isn't too worried yet about it since I've been on it a short time. Lastly does anyone know if taking lithium long term degrades your kidneys in general.
Thanks guys

I don't know much about this, but I'd recommend talking to your pharmacist in addition to your doctor- they are a very good resource to talk about side effects, risks with medication, and more. Good luck!
