My PDOC ordered kidney and thyroid/lithium level tests and hasn't gotten the results yet to determine my dosage etc so I'm waiting for that to come back.

Thanks,

I was on Lithium 2 years ago and I think I started out at 300 once a day and eventually moved up to 300 twice a day. It was a full 6 weeks before my doctor even talked about checking my blood-lithium level.
