Hey there. eight days ago i had a lithium toxic reaction that was
amazingly uncomfortable. the ER said my blood was otherwise fine.
after four straight days of misery, the nausea finally faded, leaving
the after-stomach-flu weakness and fatigue, which was no surprise.

should i understand that it takes longer than four days to fully
recover from the reaction? or could i be experiencing anemia triggered
from the reaction? i can't find information specific to anemia as a
result of lithium toxicity, and i don't have a GP to call and ask.

i appreciate your opinion very much.
