I'm currently taking 1500mg a day, morning and evening schedule, so I can understand the feelings of change. When I was first on Lithium I began to feel much more normal that I had in a long while, and I have felt that with a doctor more active in my treatment, I may be able to find the remaining key factors needed to help a little more. If you become concerned, call your doctor and explain what you are feeling, see if there is any advice from the professional end and combine it with the support you've gotten on here.
I'm glad that I've been of help to you

The tremor isn't so bad today and frankly, if I have to live with a minor tremor for the rest of my life to feel stable I'll make that sacrifice.

Still pale as a ghost today and feeling a little sick but again, I hope they'll go away in time.

Do you take extended release lithium?
