Lithium causes a lot of side effects. Facial puffiness being one of them
its always good to consult before you start a medication. Without examination it is nearly impossible to comment on your health status
Medicines can only be told once examined as they should not harm in any way if not benefitting.

Dear lybrate-user,
Insomnia may be an early warning sign of mania or a symptom of depression. If the cause is treated, then you can sleep well. You may not need a separate treatment for insomnia.
