Does lithium carbonate get you high?
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.

Can you take lisinopril and lithium and hctz?
HCTZ will increase the reabsorption of ions like sodium and lithium. For this reason, your doctor should consider reducing administration of Lithium by 50-75%. You should also monitor for toxic effects of Lithium, which can develop slowly but with long-term use of Lithium. There is a long list of symptoms from toxicity; these would include mania and muscle rigidity. Lithium has a Black Box warning that says that Lithium toxicity can occur even at therapeutic doses and that a patient need to visit his or her doctor and get serum Lithium levels to make sure that Lithium levels are adequate for treatment of their disorder. I would take the FDA up on their suggestion.
