Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

Although lithium is generally safe medication the thyroid and renal function should be monitored on regular basis as they are the most common long term side effects.

In addition gastrointestinal side effect can occur which respond to lowering of dose.

I hope this helps you.
