I'm glad you did call the covering doc...next time call the covering doc BEFORE you adjust your own meds.

Of course I can't say much, my Pnurse wants me to take my lithium three times a day, and I take the whole daily dose before i go to bed instead. I tried the three times a day way and all it did was make me not want to eat because the capsule would remind me I am permanently mentally ill every meal. That and I couldn't take it at the same times every day because my job doesn't allow for breaks at the same time every day.

So I am sticking with my way. I remember to take the Lithium every day, I fall asleep within 10 minutes of going to bed, and no nausea or unpleasant side effects. Oh, and my Lithium levels are a rock solid 0.65 every time!
