I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed this but the drug takes a while to start working but it takes no time at all to stop working.

Huh I'm also on week 3-4 of Li at 600mg. It's good to hear that confusion/forgetfulness is normal as I have also experienced some of that at work and it's been throwing me off a little bit. Ive heard from you and others that it can start hypo mania creeps if you miss a dose, I've come really close to forgetting doses a couple of times... guess I'll have to watch out for that.
