Years of Lithium lead to Chronic Kidney Disease for Me; Can I Sue MD's?

I am a 55 year old female with bipolar disorder (inherited from grandmother and mother.) I was successfully treated (no manic or great depressive episodes) for 30 years with lithium by a series of pychiatrists.  I also took andipressents (imiprimane, effoxer).  I took regular blood tests.

 

This summer I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease,  Stage 3.  This is because of litium treatment.  Pychiatrist said it happens, but never before in her practice

 

Would I be able to sue my psyhiatrist of the last 12 years for malpractice?  Has anyone done this?  Suggest an attorney or how to find one?
