Are you looking for information on depression medication? Then you need lithium information. You may not know it, but lithium greatly affects sodium flow through your cells (nerve and muscles) and is widely used to help remedy manic depression.

Understanding depression

The right lithium information can help you understand manic depression better. You see, mania is characterized by hyperactivity, poor judgment, hurried speech, sleep aversion, anger, and extreme aggressiveness. Medication containing lithium can help alleviate these symptoms by restoring balance and preventing extreme mood swings.

Important lithium information: It can save you life

* Lithium medication should never be taken if you are pregnant, because it can potentially cause birth defects and other such damage to an unborn baby. Your doctor may require you to be on birth control while taking Lithium drugs. In case you accidentally get pregnant during the course of the treatment, you need to immediately inform your doctor.

* Never crush or chew extended-release Lithium tablets. You need to swallow the whole pill.

* If you begin to manifest signs of lithium toxicity - nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle weakness, drowsiness, tremor, blurred vision, sudden lack of coordination, or ringing the your ears - call your doctor immediately. Also inform your doctor if you find that you are suddenly sweating excessively.

* Try to avoid activities that require you to be extra alert when you are taking Lithium medicine. These drugs can impair your reactions, so it's better to stay on the safe side. And while extended-release Lithium tablets usually let you live life normally, you should still be responsible and use your common sense. Do not engage in dangerous activities that require super precision.

* During treatment, make it a point to drink a lot of fluids. This should help keep you from getting dehydrated, which tends to happen during lithium intake. Also avoid staying in unventilated rooms, exercising without replenishing your fluids, or generally staying in hot weather. Ask you doctor about how much you should drink though, because you may overdo it. Remember that taking too much liquid is also as dangerous as not drinking enough.

* Avoid extended-release Lithium tablets if you have a history of heart or kidney disease, if you have an under-active thyroid, or if you have low blood sodium levels. You may still be able to take Lithium even if you have these conditions, but you may need to do so in a hospital, under the supervision of a doctor. Dosage may also be adjusted.
