Lithium is a drug taken by people suffering from Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Disorder is a mental illness which consists of a person who experiences both manic and depressed states. This is a very difficult illness to have, and the song appears to speak to the struggles associated with this disease.
Kurt Cobain writes " I'm so lonely" and seconds later states "I'm not sad".
Kurt constructs a very interesting song which focuses on stating many opposite and confusing feelings, it results in a person that sounds as if they are experiencing feelings from both a manic and depressed state.
Kurt Cobain certainly had his own bout with depression, and unfortunately ended up ultimately taking his own life.

Nothing.Seriously the original title was "Imodium".Cobain renamed the song after a conversation with Tad Doyle of the band Tad.I can't remember the in's and out's of it but it went something like that.The lyrics are just a play on words.I don't believe the words have a concrete meaning just a feeling you get when you hear it.By the way Lithium is a drug given to mentally ill patients and he probably could run with that idea.

Lithium: medication for bi-polar and other mental health issues is a very abusable drug usually used by shooting it into the veins-creating a speed time buzz. The song is about using it and how hard it is to come back down and stay away from it.

Lithium is a drug given to people who suffer from bi-polar disorder. If you check out the lyrics of this song- he speaks in alot of contridictions- like a bi-polar would.

Unless Nirvana has a song called Lithium, I believe Lithium is by Evanescence...

it's about bipolar disorder. i know someone in his family thought that he had a mental disorder, and maybe he thought he had one too. i don't know about that, but it is about bipolar.
