Tox Tunes #93: Lithium (Evanescence)

As with the Nirvana song of the same title, the lyrics are not completely clear as to whether the singer is describing the experience of the drug, or using it as a metaphor for emotional ambivalence. (We should note that in fact Nirvana’s “Lithium” never mentions the drug in its lyrics.)
I thought of this song after reviewing the new paper from the EXTRIP workgroup paper on extracorporeal treatment of lithium toxicity.
