lithium
This side effect is printed on the FDA label for Lithobid. It was a question in our daily quiz, where you pick the real side effect from four choices.

The line between a helpful dose and a toxic one is thin. The label says toxicity can happen close to normal levels.
“In some cases, lithium toxicity has resulted from interactions between a NSAID and lithium.”
Ask before taking ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. Tell your doctor about shaking, diarrhea, vomiting, unsteadiness or confusion.
1,224 reports to the FDA's adverse event system mention lithium toxicity. A report is not proof the drug caused it. See the query
