Lithium is a metaphore for Amy's sadness, which the song is written about. It is not only a drug presribed to people with bipolar disorder it is also a metal which is known for once you got it in, you can't get it out.
Amy wants to let the sadness out and let it go, but it's hard because she has sort of fallen inlove with it and knows it's part of who she is. "Wonder whats wrong with me".
Hope this helps a bit. It's half what Amy says it's about and half my interpretation/research.

lithium
Chemical element, lightest alkali metal, chemical symbol Li, atomic number 3. It is soft, white, lustrous, and very reactive, forming compounds in which it has valence 1. The metal is used in certain alloys, as a coolant in nuclear reactors, and (because of its reactivity) as a reagent, scavenger, and rocket fuel. Lithium hydride is used as a source of hydrogen; lithium hydroxide is used as an additive in storage batteries and to absorb carbon dioxide. Halides (see halogen) of lithium are used as moisture absorbents, and lithium soaps are used as thickeners in lubricating greases. Lithium carbonate is an important drug for treating depression and bipolar disorder.
