If you are taking any type of medication do not stop. Get to a doctor asap and discuss your options, You should not stop them tho without doctor`s supervision.

Well, Lithium is not safe. But, in terms of what (if anything) is, you Will need to consult your physician. Also, quitting a powerful drug such as Lithium cold turkey can be extremely dangerous.
