People don't like large numbers when it comes to meds, and that tends to be an issue with lithium. Meds have a different potency (the amount it takes to cause a certain effect), so sometimes it take 1mg of something, and other times it takes 1000mg.....to have the same effect. If it makes you feel better, that is around the typical starting dose, depending on a bunch of factors. If you have questions, you should call up your doc and let him/her know....it is a common concern, and you will probably feel better if you get your questions answered.
