How many mg of lithium to kill a 140 pound man?

Answer 1

Lithium the medication is basically salts of the elemental metal, lithium. It has, over time, been perhaps the most widely administered treatment for bipolar manic and depressive episodes in the world. It has over a hundred-year history in the phamracy. And part of the reason lithium has been widely used for so long to treat depression is that it's extremely hard to do harm with it. It shouldn't be a surprise that people experiencing a depressive episode are sometimes suicidal, so anti-depression treatments are typically of very low toxicity, and this is especially true of lithium. Lethal doses of lithium are actually somewhat indeterminate, as the delivery of so much lithium is hard to accomplish, especially as it's a mild irritant and, in dosages like that, should induce vomiting. In answer to your question, I can't honestly sya specifically. I can however say that you may not be able to reach a lethal dose at all with this.
