I'm suspicious that my best friend has been abusing lithium. I've seen her acting funny but I want to get the facts about it before I accuse her. I've tried looking around online but am not finding what I would like to know about it. How do you abuse lithium? and how much do you have to take to mess you up? I know she is perscribed it and I don't want to accuse her if she's just taking how she's suposed to but I know nothing about the drug.
any help please?

Lithium is prescribed to people with Manic Depression.I assure you she is not abusing it,it's her mental health issues that might be making her behavior seem odd.

No, if people take it in higher than prescribed doses, it can frequently be fatal. Any drug abuse doesn't last long. The therapeutic and toxic ranges are quite close.
