What he started me on was 300 mg 3x's a day, so I would total 900 to start with. He said I could adjust it if needed. For five weeks i've been taking only 300 mg. I started myself so low because every time I started a new med it was a high dose and it sent me manic, and fast. Last time I took lithium it was 1200mg to start with. But today i'm starting at 600mg. I'm going to keep it there for two to three weeks. My doctor hasn't ordered any kind of blood test as of yet. I think Monday I'm going to call and see if I should get one just to be safe, and have my thyroid checked also.
I want to go ahead and take the 900mg today so I can get to therapeutic levels, I think i'm just a chicken!!!! But I think I will do it!!! For my husband's sake And thank all of you for the replies!!!! It means a lot
