I take 1200mg for example and that puts me smack dab in the middle of the effective range when I have my labs drawn and checked.

I am wondering why you people are using double or triple mg than me. My pdoc put me on 600 mg of Lithium Carbonate for maintenance and to avoid the relapse only, not to cure the mania or depression. My mania relapse usually occur once in a year (and recently i have started taking medications regularly).
My length of relapse is better than many people here may be because I dont drink alcohol.
I will go for lab test after 3-4 days and let's see what the report has to say, but I am happy with the lithium carbonate. The only downside of this medicine is the brain fog which I want to get rid of. Lithium orotate seems an option which I want to explore.
