Because of the lithium that I take, my thyroid function has been compromised, and I need to take meds to counteract that effect. My question is....and I know I should ask the doctor, but he's not here and you-all are....if or when I stop taking lithium, will my thyroid functioning return, or have I damaged it permanently? This is not something that I'm currently losing sleep over, but when I resolve all of my other life issues, it may be. Or I'm just curious.
