Lithium carbonate is not tested for, mainly because it is not a drug of abuse. It is, rather, one of the nastiest drugs you can go on. The side effects are really bad and the therapeutic index--the distance in dosing between the dose that works and the dose that kills you--is very small. And the side effects are unbelievable--"tremors" are the mildest side effect of this drug.


Can lithium be used as an illegal substance and should you allow it to be prescribed to your children?

Technically, using prescription lithium drugs without a prescription is using them illegally. However, it is extremely rare for lithium drugs to be used recreationally (for enjoyment of the effects rather than for a legitimate medical condition). As lithium has a fairly narrow therapeutic index, abusing lithium could be very dangerous and unpleasant.As for allowing it to be prescribed to one's children: if a qualified physician has deemed that this drug would provide greater benefits than risks for one's children, it is recommended that the drug be prescribed and administered. However, be sure to tell the doctor all of the details of your child's condition so that he/she can most accurately diagnose the problem.you know your really boreing me out come on we just want a sentence GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
