How is this medication used?

Lithium ER should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response to the medication and your blood lithium levels.

Common side effects of lithium ER include but are not limited to tremors, increased thirst, increased urination, nausea, diarrhea, and weight gain. More serious side effects can include kidney problems, low thyroid hormone levels, and high levels of calcium in the blood.
