Hi guys, I’ve been taking lithium for four years and have always experienced increased thirst. The thirst and peeing is getting worse (in 24 hours I drank 6L and peed out 8L) so my nephrologist (I have kidney disease from the lithium) has decided I need to do a water deprivation test to investigate. Has anyone else been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus? What treatment did they use?

Also has anyone done a water deprivation test and do you have any tips for getting through it? It sounds like hell
