I got a phone call today from the nurse where I see my psychiatrist, and she told me my lithium level was too high from my blood test a few days ago. She couldn't tell me what it was (it usually runs 0.9 or so) but I usually take 600mg in morning and 600mg at night. She wants me to take 450mg in morning and 600mg at night now. I think I know why - I've lost 10-15lb in the last few months.
Does anybody know does a mild toxic level like this cause tremors in hands and legs? Something has been causing that. She couldnt answer that one either.
