Is Lithium A Narcotic

I would like to know if lithium is a narcotic? I'm having Mohs surgery on thursday and I have A LOT of anxiety & fear building up! I already had 1 procedure done this past thursday, where they had to give me 5 stitches. ## No, it is not a narcotic, it is most commonly used to treat various mental health issues, as well as severe headaches. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and diarrhea. However, it can sometimes interfere with surgical anesthesia, so it would be best not to take it, without checking with your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

The pills I got are generic for roxicodone 30mg. mfg.carac they are light blue with 224 ## Yes, what you have is a 30mg regular release Oxycodone tablet, which is a generic for Roxicodone. Learn more Oxycodone details here. It is a narcotic analgesic, so it does have the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## They do not make a regular release roxicodone they are a immediate release Pill some people call them IR ## It's suppose to be a percocet 30 mg n I can't find the image no where on internet ..its a little smaller then what a 512 perk 5 looks like but blue and has 224 on it plz help.me tell me if its a perk 30.

I got a round peach colored pill with the numbers 223 on it and was told it was vicodin. I googled it and it came up lithium. What is it? ## Hello, Tammy! How are you? First of all, all current Vicodin tablets on the market are oblong/oval. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. That said, can you please double check the numbers on this tablet? I can't find a listing for anything that matches this description. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you.
