Caffeine lowers lithium levels right, so without caffeine serotonin should be increased?

low serotonin increased appetite
high serotonin decreased appetite
mood and sleep should be better without caffeine
does lithium and caffeine together cause the weight gain
do the lithium monographs tell you how to lose weight with lithium by telling you to drink lots of water and getting off caffeine
caffeine forces lithium serotonin levels to be low

you have it backwards, caffiene causes the re-uptake of lithium, so much so that you can become toxic with lithium if you drink coffee.

suggest you get a PDR, or ask your doctor, caffiene in coffee or any other product, causes the re-uptake of lithium, leading to toxic levels if the patient consumes too much caffiene. Report It
