I’ve been having lingering symptoms related to a recent episode. I got bloodwork done and my lithium level is 1.0

I emailed my doctor the results (I had emailed him previously about the symptoms and that’s when he ordered another level check)

He said that 1.0 was good and bad. Good because it is at a great therapeutic level. Bad because he didn’t want to increase the lithium any more and risk toxicity. Given that, he said a .”5 mg increase in risperidone would make sense. Let me know what you think”.

I’ve given it some thought, and I’m going to see if the symptoms go away. I really like my doc.
