[QUOTE=BlindBetta;6563365]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? QUOTE]

Yes but from the other end. I want to vomit but have severe dehydrating diarrhoea. If you continue to be dehydrated it痴 worth presenting to the ER. They can give you a litre of IV fluids which would also be a quick way to lower your lithium level.
