Dude- Do Not Screw With An MAOI Dose Like That EVER! You're already up at the top end of the dose scale. This isn't some candy assed SSRI, and you can screw yourself up. If anything, the dose should come down as the lithium works. It takes time to get well.
The zaps are a common side effect of MAOIs, and messing around the dose makes them worse. Get some vitamin B-6, that should make it stop. Nardil can cause deficiency of B-6 and take the dose on the bottle, not a "more must be better" approach. It may take a couple of days to work.
