Do you know that lithium can be toxic and kill you?  It also damages the thyroid.  One of the women on here had thyroid cancer b/c of the lithium and the thyroid problems going undiagnosed.

This is nothing to mess around with.  Any time anyone is on lithium they should have regular blood draws to check their levels.  And if you're "playing" with the pills no dr is going to know to do this.

If all she has from it is memory loss she's very lucky.

"Playing with pills" can kill you!  What kind of pills are you talking about?  Meds taken when not prescribed are drugs and you should not ever take them.
