Hmmm ... Glad you asked. This is interesting, the frequency, intervals, and variations.
I was put on 1200 mg lithium 10 months ago to present.
Initially blood levels were drawn frequently, i.e. 2-3 x week for 3 weeks, in hospital.
Once I was discharged (or sentenced?) to a group home for 6 months, they had blood levels done but twice in 6 months, despite neurological issues, etc.
The real hoot is the last time I asked the mental health pdoc (a nurse practitioner, I never saw a dr. there) about my lithium levels, it turns out the hospital never got the results out to him, or there was some cyber glitch, or whatever. That was 3 months ago. I left 2 months ago.
I am deeply concerned about the lithium, tremors, long term effects on kidneys and the nervous system.
