And thus are the hazards of taking drugs that are not prescribed for you, hope you have learned a lesson and count yourself lucky that the reaction you had wasn't worse.

This is Lithium Carbonate Extended Release 450mgs, a generic for Eskalith CR. This is used for people who suffer from manic depression to prevent the excessive swings from one mood to another.

And yes, if taken by the wrong person, who does not have a condition requiring this drug it can have adverse effects, there are many medical conditions as well as other meds that this drug cannot be used with.
