Thirsty: Lithium can cause severe thirst. Paxil (paroxetine) can also cause thirst but not as bad. You can suck on lemon drops or life savers to quench your thirst. Tea may as also be helpful.

Please see doctor: Contact your doctor asap and tell him/her what you're experiencing. Get your blood glucose, electrolytes, and lithium level checked -- also urinalysis. Thirst is a common side effect with lithium, but yours sounds extreme and could indicate some danger. http://www.rxlist.com/eskalith-side-effects-drug-center.htm be safe, and be well.
