Lithium blood levels high!!

Well I heard from my psychiatrist today and it turns out my latest blood results showed me at a high level of lithium! YIKES...so she has cut me back to 600mg a day.. down from 900mg... I don't see her for another couple of weeks...I will probably be put on something else....so bummed about it..... I guess these things happen...I just hope my moods stay ok in the meantime...

love ya all!

You have to be careful with Lithium.. I was on Lithium and my dr. never even monitored my levels!

I was put on Depakote.. made me gain weight but did help my moods...
