One major drug used to treat bipolar disease is lithium. Because lithium has a narrow therapeutic range, it is important to recognize symptoms of toxicity, such as:
 
  1. Orthostatic hypotension
  2. Agitation and irritability
  3. Drowsiness and nausea
  4. Painful urination and abdominal distention

Question 2

Patients should be instructed regarding the rapid onset of zolpidem (Ambien) because:
 
  1. Zolpidem should be taken just before going to bed.
  2. Zolpidem may cause dry mouth and constipation.
  3. Patients may need to double the dose for effectiveness.
  4. They should stop drinking alcohol at least 30 minutes before taking zolpidem.
