Abstract
Four cases of lithium-induced neurotoxicity are presented which, taken with evidence from previous reports, indicate that specific risk factors for lithium-induced neurotoxicity at normal serum levels are rapid dosage regimes, concomitant neuroleptic therapy, pre-existing EEG abnormalities, undetected cerebral pathology, organic impairment, and genetic susceptibility.
