I personally know three people with severe kidney disease from Lithium. My daughter has been on it for 14 years. That may not be your issue. But I am surprised that a nephrologist would say that and wonder if it is true, for my kid's sake.

@windyshores I always need to remember that every person is different. Not only how a chronic issue presents itself, but how our body responds to a stimulant. That is, how we deal with a medication may have some similar effects/side effects, but still be different. Like you, I have known people with kidney issues from Lithium use. And, like @mrainne, I know people who have had no issues with it.
