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.

What does lithium do if you're not bipolar?
Depending what other medications you are taking Lithium will work the same way. However Lithium is note just for bipolar affective disorder is can in certain circumstances be used for other conditions. Try to think about it like this; if you have a sore head you might take some pain relief (Tylenol etc) if you have a fever you might also take Tylenol. When you have the fever you might not have a sore head, the Tylenol will help the fever but because your head isn't in pain there is no need for it to act on it. Lithium is the same, if you do not have bipolar there is no need for the anti-manic action of Lithium BUT if you have other symptoms that may need Lithium then it will work on them. Remember if your taking Lithium to look after your kidneys and be familiar with the signs of Lithium Toxicity.
