I am on lithium for my bipolar disorder, can I drink alcohol?
You can drink anything you want, even piss. But I should I warn you, Lithium is not the medication you want
to mess around with. The drug is very finicky and can cause serious side
effects. I highly recommend you not take alcohol when you are on lithium.
Dehydration can easily lead to toxicity of lithium. The adverse effects of
lithium are progressive and not reversible. If you want to drink alcohol, then
you better tell your doctor to start you on some other medication for your BPD.
Lithium is a great drug but it can easily cause severe adverse effects if you
fool around with it.
