No, I really don't think you need to worry about this. 400mg is a pretty typical starting dose. She may need to raise it based on your bloodwork down the road. With mood stabilizers, finding a therapeudic dose is a very individual thing. You are going to have to let the doctor do the doctor thing. Someone else was saying how they how on lithium, they were toxic at 125mg (very unusual). My dose of lithium was 900mg. My husband's dose of lithium is 1200mg. It's all based on bloodwork. If the 400mg does really give you problems, call your pdoc and let her know, she can adjust the dose as needed.
