Did she not mention at all that lithium requires this?
I would call her and ask who's taking my blood and when...
She did tell me that I will be getting blood work done, just didn't really tell me much about the actual med. Did some reading about it today and all the side effects scare me. I'm worried that I will encounter a problem.
