Thank you for the reminder. I see the link I used above for this issue has closed. Here is a new one:

MANAGEMENT: Patients who must take lithium in combination with NSAIDs should be monitored for evidence of lithium toxicity, although clinically significant interactions are thought to be rare.

From the "moderate" classification for this interaction, it appears that individual renal handling of both drugs determines the potential for negative reactions. Anyone on lithium should be getting periodic monitoring anyway. Some people just cannot handle lithium well because of their own renal status.
Lithium remains a difficult drug for some people to tolerate.
