How To Use Lithium Citrate
Take with food or milk or immediately after meals to prevent stomach upset. Lithium Citrate works best if the amount of Lithium Citrate in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. Drink 8-12 glasses of water or other fluid each day and maintain a regular diet while taking Lithium Citrate. Do not change the amount of salt in your diet unless your doctor tells you to do so. Lithium Citrate must be taken as prescribed. Do not stop taking Lithium Citrate suddenly without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may worsen if the medication is suddenly stopped.

Lithium Citrate Side Effects

If these symptoms persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Notify your doctor if you develop: diarrhea, vomiting, fever, unsteady walking, fainting, confusion, slurred speech, rapid heart rate, severe trembling of the hands. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Lithium Citrate may make you dizzy or drowsy; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Limit alcoholic beverages.
