Lithium Side Effects

I've been taking this for too long. I suffered toxicity at 17 because of it. Why did this come up? Well, to be honest I choked on my pill and trashed it. Not a first. You'd have to walk in my shoes to understand that.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop taking lithium and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

*

extreme thirst, urinating more or less than usual;
*

weakness, fever, feeling restless or confused, eye pain and vision problems;
*

restless muscle movements in your eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck;
*

pain, cold feeling, or discoloration in your fingers or toes;
*

feeling light-headed, fainting, slow heart rate;
*

hallucinations, seizure (blackout or convulsions);
*

fever with muscle stiffness, sweating, fast or uneven heartbeats; or
*

early signs of lithium toxicity, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, muscle weakness, tremor, lack of coordination, blurred vision, or ringing in your ears.
