Before your appointment, arm yourself with the right questions about Lithium. This ensures you get the best treatment decision — and the lowest cost.
8 Questions to Ask About Lithium
- 1"Is Lithium the right medication for my specific situation?"
- 2"Is generic Lithium Carbonate/Citrate available — is it equally effective for me?"
- 3"What dose should I start with, and how will we know if it's working?"
- 4"What side effects should I watch for and report to you?"
- 5"Are there any medications I'm currently taking that could interact with Lithium?"
- 6"Is a 90-day supply prescription possible — it reduces my cost per fill?"
- 7"If Lithium doesn't work well for me, what are the alternatives?"
- 8"Can I get a compounded formulation if the commercial version doesn't work for me?"
