Here are my Lithium Secrets (admittedly, some ameliorate rather than avoid side effects):
1) Salt tablets: Take one with your morning dose, especially in the summer, to feel less "drugged".
2) Glucose tablets: Upset stomach from lithium is caused by lithium's tendency to lower blood sugar.
3) Gum: Hydrates your mouth during the day
4) Oral Balance Gel from Biotene: Hydrates your mouth during the night.
5) Chapstick: Keeps your lips from mummifying during the night.
