lithium and cocaine

[buriedlies]

I used the search feature, but couldn't find ANY topics about this.. Which I find strange, surely someone has asked this. So I apologize.. I tried to find the giant thread about all combos but it didn't really answer my question about this specific combo.

Is it safe to mix lithium carbonate (mood stabilizer) with cocaine?

Regardless on why I am on it or not. I just want to know if it is safe and/or lessens the effects of the cocaine at all.

Thank you so much.

well cocaine itself isn't that "safe", but doing lithium with it isn't going to make it any less safe. I've done it plenty of times, but since lithium is supposed to control mania your brain may or may not produce the same high as it would without the lithium. I'm not sure on that one.

I'm no chemist but there dos seem to be a massive amount of information on this very subject on the net, generally speaking the opinion is that there is no interaction between the 2 drugs however some disagree. I certainly seems as if it won't do you any more physical damage than either of the 2 in isolation. All I did was type "lithium and cocaine " into Google, one of many related links below
