Lithium - A Narcotic?

I would like to know if lithium is a narcotic? I'm having Mohs surgery on thursday and I have A LOT of anxiety & fear building up! I already had 1 procedure done this past thursday, where they had to give me 5 stitches.

No, it is not a narcotic, it is most commonly used to treat various mental health issues, as well as severe headaches.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and diarrhea.

However, it can sometimes interfere with surgical anesthesia, so it would be best not to take it, without checking with your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?
