[QUOTE="bran155, post: 231466"] Hello and welcome. I tend to agree with butterflydreams. My daughter did not try Lithium until her mid teens. She did everything, and I mean everything else first. While we did see results when she was on the Lithium, I too am of the understanding that it is a very heavy duty medication. I am surprised to see that such young children take it. I am no doctor by any means though. In any event, do the research, look for side effects. My daughter did have lock jaw and a few of the other possible side effects. She had to take Cogentin to counteract the side effects. Just be cautious and educate yourself so you know what to watch out for. Good luck and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
