How long have you been taking lithium? It took me a good 6 months for the tiredness to go away when I first started taking it. At the peak, I was taking 900mg/twice daily.
Talk to your Dr, and talk to your pharmacist. I find my pharmacist to be much more useful when it comes to meds and side effects etc. I take 450mg in the morning now, 300mg at bedtime. Tiredness only sets in now if I am also suffering from insomnia, otherwise I can't function without it.
