Are you sure you mean lithium.?

Lithium is a metallic element that is extremely active and would react with the moisture in your mouth and the acids in your stomach to make lithium hydroxide (a caustic form of lye) and hydrogen gas while liberating large amounts of heat. I doubt you would even be able to swallow it due to the pain.

Maybe you meant Librium, an anti-anxiety med.
5 grams is a lot considering 5mg to 10mg is the normal dose.
5 grams is 5 thousand to 10 thousand times the normal dose.

This could cause the victim to become comatose. Sustaining their respiration on a ventilator would be crucial.
