Dear lybrate-user. Thanks for the question. Medicines are prescribed to you because you require them. Licab 350 MG Tablet is a mood stabilizing agent that is used in the treatment of mania and bipolar disorder. This medicine may increase the risk of adverse effects, therefore, do not take more than prescribed amount. Monitoring of kidney, heart and thyroid function is necessary. You can talk to your psychiatrist for more information. Take care.

Dear Lybrate-User,
the same medicine lithium carbonate will be available in canada, not in the same name (lalithium xr). Please check on the dose, calculate total dose per day and check the strength of the tablet that is available. Take a summary of your husband's treatment and prescription from your doctor, to carry medicines for few months in canada. It is better to find a psychiatrist and check serum lithium level with newer company's lithium carbonate.

There is no drop. Infact your kidney functions are better in july 2020 compared to last year. Some variation can occur due to the metabolism of the drug in the body. But as long as it is within normal range, you have nothing to worry. Just keep checking serum lithium levels every 6 months. You are doing good and maintaining well on lithium. Continue same.

Dear lybrate-user,
for long term mood stability, sometimes you may need many different tablet combinations. Try and report to your doctor after few weeks.
In psychiatry, there is no need of conducting 'tests' in your terms. The best test the psychiatrist conducts, is called as 'mental status examination'
diagnosis in psychiatry is mostly the symptom clusters and mental status examination.
