Managing side effects of lithium that occur soon after an oral dose
09:41:34 am, Categories: Mood stabilizers Episodic nausea occurring only after each dose may be due to local gastric irritation and may be relieved by talking lithium with food. Clinically, any side effect that mainly occurs 1-2 hours after each oral dose of the standard preparation of lithium might be improved by changing to the sustained-release form.
