He'll be fine, I tried to OD on it on purpose once, I took 40 450MG tablets, And I just got really sick. I did some time in the puzzle factory for that one.

Other Answers:
Ask a doctor who is an MD, but just anybody on the Internet.

It could hurt you, but I'm not sure it would kill you. Depends on your body weight. Why would you take 7 at one time? It can damage your liver and kidneys.

If you took them you need to call poison control or a hospital and ask what to do.

Too much of anything can be bad for you.
Just use the recommended dose and no more

i would say so.not!! a good idea.

YEA IT CAN HURT YOU AND POSSIBLY KILL YOU. DO NOT TAKE THAT MANY! I ALMOST LOST MY MOTHER THAT WAY!! DO NOT DO THAT!

YES! LITHIUM IS A MINERAL USED COMMONLY FOR TREATING MANIC DISORDERS AND THE BODY NEEDS A PROPER LEVEL OF IT TOO MUCH CAN CAUSE SEVERE PROBLEMS AS CAN TOO LITTLE,IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS TAKEN THAT MUCH , HE OR SHE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION A.S.A.P

It will probably affect your judgement but you will not OD unless you are a very unhealthy Or underweight individual. Take these pills as recommended by your doctor! Lithium is a serious drug and not something to be tampered with, if you are having thought of suicide call someone immediately and insist your shrink take you off these meds because they are not helping

yes, in high doses it is toxic, especially if there hasn't been enough in the system previously for a therapeutic concentration.

it could hurt him but I think it is highly unlikely if he only took seven 150 mg tabs I took 17 450 mg tabs and I am still here I spent a few days in the hospital but that was it
