Effects of lithium carbonate on methylphenidate-induced mood, behavior, and cognitive processes. 1981

L Y Huey, and D S Janowsky, and L L Judd, and A Abrams, and D Parker, and P Clopton

Evidence is presented which suggests that lithium modifies the mood and behavioral alterations resulting from IV methylphenidate. Specifically, lithium significantly reduces the level of arousal-activation, euphoria-grandiosity, and the total score of manic-state ratings following a methylphenidate challenge. In addition, lithium appears to be capable of modifying the growth hormone response to methylphenidate.
