Lithium has a lot of side effects but I'm not sure they would appear at such a low dose. You will probably find yourself very thirsty though. Make sure you're drinking a lot of water. Try not to drink juice or soda because you'll end up gaining weight from all the empty calories.
Good luck! I hope your lamictal titration goes well. Did she say why she started two mood stabilizers at once?

Thanks. I'll be sure to drink water. That's something I need to do more of in general
She told me Lamictal usually takes a few months to fully kick in, so she prescribed Lithium to help me start feeling better quicker in the meantime (I'm rapid cycling), and that depending on how I feel later, I may not need to continue the Lithium.
