Hello doctor, My health issue started 11 years back when I was diagnosed with mania. Since then, I have been taking Olimelt 5 mg. My weight has increased from 65 to 100 kg. Whenever I tried to stop the medicine, the problem worsened. I have had four manic episodes in all these years. The last episode was last year when due to the pressure in my job, I could not sleep for three nights. My mood started to remain happy, and I was on the top of the world. I went to a psychiatrist, and he gave me Lithium 900 mg along with Olimelt 5 mg. Everything remained normal for six months, but now I am experiencing frequent urination problem. I need to urinate every 30 minutes in small amounts, and the tip of the penis becomes wet after 15 minutes. My creatinine and urea levels are normal. Is it happening due to Lithium? Please suggest some better medication, which does not cause kidney, thyroid, urine, and weight gain problems. The urine problem has become a nuisance. Please help.
