I've been taking lithium for about 15 years now, and I developed hypothyroidism about 5 months ago. I have always hated lithium, but the doc insists I continue it (with Depakote) and Synthroid .50 mg (50 mcg). Don't be scared. As long as you are taking thyroid hormone replacement therapy and getting regular blood work, the docs will take good care of you!
