Re: 11. Pro's "THINK", yes they do but is it reasonable?



When fully effective, lithium can control manic-depressive illness for =
the rest of a person's life. But it is not a cure. Like antihypertensive =
medications for controlling high blood pressure, lithium should not be =
discontinued without consulting the physician.

Unfortunately, some patients stop taking their lithium when they find =
that it diminishes the wonderful sense of well-being they felt when =
hypomanic; most resume taking their medication when disabling manic =
episodes return.

Other patients discontinue lithium because they feel they no longer need =
it. Such reasoning is perfectly understandable. When a person remains =
well week after week, there is a tendency to forget to take lithium or =
to deliberately stop taking the medication, believing that the illness =
has been cured. Lithium's effects, however, last only when patients =
regularly take the medication. If patients stop taking lithium--no =
matter if they've been taking it for 5 weeks or 5 years--the chances of =
having another manic or depressive attack increase. In fact, patients =
who stop taking the medication are just as likely as patients who have =
never been treated to fall back into a manic or depressive episode.

This does not mean, though, that all patients must take lithium for a =
lifetime. After a long period of treatment without a recurrence of mania =
or depression, the doctor and patient may consider withdrawal of =
medication under close supervision. That decision will depend upon =
several factors, including the impact that a subsequent episode may have =
on the patient's marriage or other significant relationships, career, =
and general functioning; the likelihood that an emerging recurrence will =
be detected early enough to prevent a full-blown attack; and the =
patient's tolerance of lithium
