My pdoc decided to increase my Lithium from 600 mg to 900 mg today.
For those of you on Lithium, how long would you say it takes to feel a difference? I still feel hypo/mixed, but it was just increased today. I kind of wished my pdoc would increase my Abilify since it has helped a lot since I started it, and I thought maybe he would increase the dosage. I'm not the doctor, though, so what do I know?

Your blood levels stabilize in 4 days. It may take longer to feel it but that's when you might start feeling something reasonably.
