You could have just had a stomach bug/flu and it not be related to the lithium at all, particularly if the symptoms seem to be resolving now. The lithium level may not have changed with the dose increase quite yet; it can take some time. Give it a few days of being over whatever was ailing you to see how you are feeling. Your pdoc may want you to have another level drawn; you can always ask for another one to be drawn also.
