Make sure you are eating enough salt. I used to get really sick if I didn't have enough salt and then nothing would sound good until I realized I needed something salty which often settled things down. I learned if I had diarrhea I needed salt. Since I didn't eat much salt or ever add it to anything prior to lithium that was a big adjustment for me.

Yeah, Ive started to take it at night as well. They're the 300 mg and I take one before bed and one in the morning.
Really? Ive been told that eating too much salt will make the medication not work because your kidneys will just flush it all out because it doesnt segregate the different *salts*, and if for some reason your blood level is already high, that could bring it higher
I have a HUGE salt tooth, so I will be happy to know that I need to eat more salt
I have been getting diarrhea every single day of this damn medication.. I'll have to eat more salt I guess
Thanks for the insight
