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.
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.
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.
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.
Taking to much K+ can land you in the hospital!
a typical person's blood has about 4g of salt
Sodium (Na) is more reactive than lithium (Li) because sodium has a smaller atomic size and lower ionization energy, making it easier for sodium to lose an electron and form a more stable configuration compared to lithium. This results in sodium being more prone to reacting with other elements and compounds.

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.

lithium plus. removing electron from something that is positive is much harder.
Atomic number of Lithium is three. It has got two electrons in the first orbit. The third electron is free and in the outermost orbit. The atomic number of Sodium is 11 and that of potassium is 19. Sodium and potassium one electron in the outermost orbit. This outermost electron can be easily donated to have stable configuration. That is like Neon and Argon, respectively. So sodium and potassium can conveniently give up the last electron, rather than taking seven electrons to complete the outermost orbit. When sodium gives an electron, it loses about ten percent of charge. If potassium loses an electron, it loses about 5.5 percent charge. But if Lithium loses an electron, it loses 33.33 percent electrical charge. It will become grossly electrically positive in that case. Lithium feels uncomfortable to lose that much electrical charge. If Lithium forms the covalent bond, it does not have to become grossly electrically positive. Rather the electrical charge remains same, as the electrons are shared up in case of covalent bond. That is the reason as the why Lithium forms covalent bond, unlike other alkaline metals.
