limited. Dehydration, weight loss, dermatological effects, and thyroid disturbances have been reported.
Central nervous
system effects that include slurred speech, blurred vision, sensory loss, ataxia, and convulsions may
occur. Diarrhea,
vomiting, and neuromuscular effects such as tremor, clonus, and hyperactive reflexes may occur as a
result of
repeated exposure to lithium ion.
