I am on extended release. My levels are not high enough to even be considered Mild toxicity. I'm just showing symptoms because I am more sensitive. The nausea is gone, so is the stomach pain. I read that many people get it and they don't realize it. The natural response to poison is for the body to purge it and lithium is a poison. The levels while still under 1.5 became high enough for my body to hit the purge button. Does lithium toxicity cause anyone else to purge?
Mild toxicity
Mild lithium toxicity usually goes away on its own when you stop taking lithium and drink some extra fluids. However, your doctor may still want to keep an eye on you while you recover
