I agree that it's too much when you have to put a straw in a glass to drink. Do you
find yourself just sitting and trembling? You need to see your doctor. My understanding is that some people now work better taking lithium every other day rather than every single day.

That's one drug you have to be careful about--too much and you can get kidney damage--so do see your psychiatrist as soon as possible and relate your symptoms.

There are some other very good meds out there now for Bipolar illness--Lamictal is one of them. Of course, there are many others, as well.

Take care.
