Just got tested for lithium levels. Came in low at 0.5. Will the pdoc raise my doseage automatically? I've was on lithium for awhile, then went off meds for a few months. Just getting back on the bandwagon (due to necessity! Not good to go off meds! ). Have been back on meds a few weeks.

He may or may not raise your dosage. You are close to theraputic levels.

My Lithium levels sit around 0.8 since a bad episode. When not in an episode I do fine on lower levels so your pdoc may keep you where you are if you are stable.
