No. Over 200 lbs. I am sensitive to meds though.

I had a nasty toxicity in 2006 that lasted 6 months because I was vomiting so often it was hard to get an accurate level and toxicity didn't seem like a likely issue; my therapist moved out of the country with a few weeks notice and I developed ulcers so the vomiting seemed to be from that. Then it got worse and my new therapist noticed some neurological signs and sure enough, toxic. After that I was sensitive to it and had to be careful. I wound up hospitalized with a level of 2 something 24 hours after my last dose when on 425 mg in 2011 (that was fun.......tons of fluids so tons of trips to pee and tons of blood draws so they start getting creative with where they are drawing from with interns doing the drawing). Then in 2014 I once again got toxic on 425 and that time we stopped it. We hadn't before because lithium really helped me but I clearly can't tolerate it. Last winter out of desperation we tried again and in a few weeks I didn't get toxic but didn't get helped either on the low dose.
