I take lithium then I stop taking it. Then I take it again. Right now I have some but I keep forgetting to take it. I take a very low dose of only 300 mg. But before I've been up to 1200 mg but I don't like how I feel. It makes me jittery.

300 mg for me is like someone pushing the volume down button on the t.v. I still have my moods, but they are not so sever. I just feel like instead of going from 10 as a high to 0 as a low, I am more like a 7 as a high and 3 as a low. Just dials me back a bit.

But, I am horrible about remembering to take it. For a while I was able to remember for about 1 month. Now I need to figure that out again.
