rachael Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Does anyone have experience running long distances on lithium? I'm training for a half marathon and am considering skipping meds for the day of the race (and possibly some long practice runs) to avoid toxicity. I'll discuss it with the doctor, but was wondering if anyone has any experience. I'm very stable on lithium, so not very concerned skipping a single dose.

Gearhead Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The problem isn't becoming unstable from skipping one dose-the problem is you'll feel weird as hell. Missing a med you take every day often makes you feel flu-like, or hungover, or otherwise funky. You should consult your doctor or pharmacist for information about how to stay properly hydrated.
