What should I avoid while taking Eskalith-CR (Lithium)?
Lithium can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor’s instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough. Do not change the amount of salt that you consume in your diet. Changing your intake of salt could alter the amount of lithium in your blood.
