(((Faerie moon x))) One thing I know about Lithium is you have to drink incredible amounts of water so that your body can metabolize it and so that you don't become toxic. I'm sure your Dr. has informed you of the lab tests (serum levels) that will need to be done at regular intervals. It's very important you don't miss them.

You could ask you DR. for the extended release form if he/she thinks that would be of any benefit. In the meantime ask your pharmacist if taking the med closer together would be safe.

Feeling loopy is a listed side effect [cognitive impairment, impaired coordination, weakness] symptoms that may go away with continued use of the medication.

I hope this helps you in some way. Best wishes.
