Can acetaminophen and lithium carbonate be taken together?

id recommend against it. lithium is for schizophrenics...so consult your doctor first! to disagree with the above but not entirely. Lithium is presribed,as it was originally intended for,for Bipolar and mood disorders that become severe. Opiates from my little knowledge are for pain.

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.
