> I combined my two daily 300mg into 1 600mg dose two nights ago. I woke up feeling shakey, trembly, nauseous, and peed like a racehorse all day. Actually thought I was coming down with something, I felt so crummy. It was my BDay and a beach hike was planned by Hubby, so I really had to force myself out and about.

The surf booming on the rocks was echoing inside my head. It was very trippy. After that I began to notice that the quality of light was just - different. Colors more bright, scalp was tingling. I still felt physically a bit sick but OK. Overall, it was like a mild dose of psilocybin. The moderately concentrated Li dose is all I can attribute the above to. Be VERY interested if anyone else has had a similar reaction. - BarbaraHi Barb,
Interesting little experience there. I remember when I first took my lithium I felt spacey. My parent's dog was running about through the house and it seemed like the image of the dog was "trailing" around after it. The latest retrial with lithium (as an augmentor) triggered mild scale illusions-everything seemed "smaller".
