lithium has a narrow range of use. Side effects from too much of it are gradual, however, nearly always. First you feel sick before any serious harm occurs. The effects on fluid/kidney etc are easily checked iwth blood tests (and how much lithium is there and how to adjust the dose) are also all checkable with simple tests.
