Known interaction hazards: Potentiates neuroleptics, danger of encephalopathic syndrome. Counteracted by acetazolamide and by theophylline drugs, such as those used for allergy or asthma.

Tips: Before starting lithium, have kidney function, thyroid, blood salts, and blood cell counts checked. Lithium users must have heart function, kidney function, thyroid function, and therapeutic level monitored regularly. Lithium can be toxic in doses that are not much higher than the therapeutic dose. If you are allergic to tartrazine dyes, ask your pharmacist if these are used in your lithium product. If side effects are a problem, the slow-release Lithobid version may be more tolerable. People who have diabetes or a family history of diabetes should be very careful with lithium, which may affect the pancreas.

Baking soda cancels the affects...so Virginians use baking soda to offset this invasion.
