mechanism:
5-HT2A agonist (26) · Monoamine releasing agent (9) · GABAA positive allosteric modulator (8) · CB1/CB2 agonist (7) · Dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (5) · Potent 5-HT2A agonist (5) · LSD analogue; 5-HT2A agonist (4) · Prodrug of LSD; 5-HT2A agonist (4) · Serotonin/norepinephrine/dopamine releasing agent (3) · Cathinone analogue; monoamine reuptake inhibitor (2) · Dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (2) · NMDA antagonist (2) · Prodrug of GHB (2)
uses:
None (132)
starting dose:
None (131) · Acute mania: 300 mg PO TID (immediate-release) or 900 mg PO once daily (extended-release Lithobid); titrate based on serum levels to target 0.8-1.2 mEq/L. Maintenance: target 0.6-0.8 mEq/L. All dosing guided by serum lithium levels drawn at the 12-hour post-dose standardized trough. (1)
preparations:
None (132)
fda max: (Click arrow to add another value)
routes:
None (131) · Oral only. No parenteral lithium formulation exists for clinical use. (1)
onset:
None (131) · Oral peak plasma 1-2 hours (immediate-release); 4-6 hours (extended-release). Therapeutic antimanic effect typically evident within 5-14 days of achieving target serum levels; for acute mania, a neuroleptic or benzodiazepine is usually co-administered while lithium titration proceeds. (1)
duration:
None (131) · Lithium's mood-stabilizing benefit is prophylactic and requires continuous maintenance dosing; it is not a PRN or acute-episode-only medicine. Discontinuation is associated with high relapse rates and a potentially rebound worsening of episode frequency. (1)
halflife:
None (131) · 18-36 hours at steady state; longer in elderly patients (24-60 hours) and those with renal impairment. Half-life is entirely a function of glomerular filtration rate, as lithium is exclusively renally eliminated with no hepatic metabolism.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000004C-QINU`"' (1)
bioavailability:
None (132)
pregnancy:
None (132)
legal:
None (131) · [[USLegal:Prescription only|Rx-only]]. Not scheduled; no abuse potential. One of the oldest continually-used psychotropic medicines, with FDA approval dating to 1970. (1)
