A member asked:
Hi docs, do you think it's bad to drink while on lithium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, dangerous: Combining lithium & alcohol can have serious risks and may make the medication less effective. Lithium is typically prescribed for patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder, though it may also be used in patients with depression who do not have manic episodes if their depression does not respond to antidepressants alone. The medication helps stabilize the moods & provides relief from symptoms.
