What is a stroke?

What are symptoms of a stroke caused by Lithium? Before and after the stroke?

  • I am pretty sure my father had a stroke caused by lethal doses of lithium issued by his pyschiatrist. What symptoms occur before and and after the stroke?

  • Answer:

    With a stroke, one side of the body usually goes numb and may droop (usually the face). The speech can also get messed up...he should have seen a doctor immediately if he did experience a stroke

Lithium is used to treat and prevent episodes of mania (frenzied, abnormally excited mood) in people with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression, episodes of mania, and other abnormal moods). Lithium is in a class of medications called antimanic agents. It works by decreasing abnormal activity in the brain. Long term effects of lithium include hypothyroidism and renal damage. Kidney disease may cause cardiovascular diseases including stroke. Consult your doctor. Please note that I am not a medical professional.
