Myself 29 years old male suffering from bipolar disorder since my college days and taking medication from last 6 years. Now am on Lithium 300 mg twice daily with lamotrigine 50 mg at night but having problem of sever constipation since I started taking lithium from last 3 weeks. Please suggest suitable solution for this side effect or it will go away on its own and how much time it will take more to go away on its own or else I should stop talking lithium Awaiting for your valuable response, Thanks.)
