My homeopath advised lithium carbonate tablets with the usual homeopathy medicines. I am not sure of the safe dosage and frequency. I suffer from pure ocd and anxiety since 20 years. Is the medicine safe.

Dear lybrate-user: Lithium carbonate should only be taken under close supervision of a physician. It is easy to get toxicity and thyroid and kidney tests should be done regularly as long term use of lithium use. Also, there is no scientific evidence that lithium helps with OCD. There are several safe medications that can help with OCD.
