The same amount as usual. This depends on your individual needs.
A gallon of water is recommended while taking lithium carbonate due to the effect it has on your body with water loss and strain on your kidneys. Consult your pharmacist for further information.
Maybe like 100 sodium maximum.
There is no natural way to get too much lithium so I am assuming you are referring to taking too much of the medication. As an interesting historical fact, the soft drink 7Up contained lithium from the time of its introduction in 1929 until 1950. It may have been named "7Up" because of its mood stabilizing effects (a "pick me up" for people with depression). Toxic effects include shaking, balance problems, speech problems, funny eye movements, kidney problems (including the inability to concentrate urine and low blood sodium levels) , and seizures.
The recommended levels are 2300-2400 mgs, in some cases it varies person to person. You should get check up by your doctor to know the exact levels for you because high intake of sodium leads to health problems.
I talked a pharmacist about taking glucosamine chondroitin with lithium. The pharmacist said that he doesn't recommend it. I would say, if your unsure about taking lithium with glucosamine the best thing to do is ask your doctor. I know that lithium and glucosmine are both salt based products so it maybe to much salt intake. I wouldn't think it would hurt but Iam not Dr. The safest thing is to ask before you take it.
Don't try this at home, since Li2S can react very violently with water (much like lithium or sodium metal in water).
Taking to much K+ can land you in the hospital!

Normal flames are pretty much orange. So if you are seeing orange, you probably are not seeing the color you need to see. Sodium is a hard one to see sometimes on top of the orange color.
I have found taking paxil and lithium together makes me feel much worse. The depression and panic attacks became much worse. I believe the paxil after 11 years of taking it stopped working and turned on me as my Bipolar 2 got worse, then taking the lithium enhanced the paxil thus compounding the issue. I am slowly getting off the paxil which is a nightmare but allowing me to avoid more extremes in the future. Paxil ahs turned out to be nasty drug with more side effects than you can imagine.
