No, it's used as a mood stabiliser in patients with severe bipolar disorder (manic depression). The side effects aren't nice at all:- confusion, spastic gait, affected blood potassium levels (there are many more). If you NEED to take this medication, it should be under direct medical supervision and envolves regular blood tests to check the levels of lithium.
Mood stabilizers like Lithium Carbonate (if you need them) prevent both highs and lows and keep your mood at a more even level. However drink plenty of fluids if you are on Lithium, if you get dehydrated its blood level can enter the toxic range, causing symptoms like described above and even death.
