Sort of. Lithium has been describes as smelling like ammonia. This is not the lithium itself, but due to a chemical reaction. The lithium reacts with nitrogen in the air to form lithium nitride. That in turn reacts with moisture to form lithium oxide and ammonia.

∙ 13y agoLithium tastes terrible! I'm not sure how to describe it except as extremely bitter. I have taken Lithium XR, regular Lithium capsules as well as Lithium elixir and all in their powder or liquid form made me vomit instantly even when mixed in puddings, shakes, etc. I remember taking it crushed without problem when I first started so I don't know if it's acquired since Lithium causes a metallic taste in the mouth anyway.
Sidenote: Extended release medications like Lithium XR are not supposed to be crushed but I was taking it last year when I had to switch to crushed/liquid meds and my doctor suggested I try it in hopes I could tolerate it better than the other forms that made me ill. (No luck)

∙ 13y agoLithium is often describes as smelling like urine.
This however, is not the smell of the lithium itself but of the ammonia produced when it reacts with nitrogen and moisture in the air.
6Li + N2 + 6H2O --> 6LiOH + 2NH3
