Talk:Lithium (medication)

I'm going to redirect the lithium salts page to here, since it was not really about lithium salts per se, but only their use as mood stabilizing drugs.

/+ i still think this is the best mood stabilizer, even though i was in intensive care for 2weeks after accidental overdose... it's extremely easy to die off of this if not taken properly, especially if it's in a time-released tablet... i don't know how it's done at other hospitals, but i was put on kidney dialysis to clear all the lithium from my blood... -- Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade 02:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

/++ i'm not going to edit this page, but I'd have the first line say something like "The use of lithium salts to treat mania was first introduced by physicians of ancient Rome, when doctors recommended bathing in the springs in northern Italy which are abundant with the salts." ... I just have no citation but I've read it time and time again
