Mixing Lithium and Mephedrone (meow)
Dangerous
Serotonin overload plus lithium's effect on the brain raises the risk of seizures. Do not combine.
Lithium plus MDMA-like releasers is rated dangerous for the same reason lithium plus MDMA is: serotonergic overload against lithium's effect on neuronal excitability, with seizure risk.
The risk here is to the body — breathing, heart, temperature or organs. Set limits before you start, because this kind of harm does not announce itself in time to react.
